If you buy theSwim Trunks from the Mount Holly Gift Shop, every time you draft the Pool, there will be two chests in it. you may only access these chests if the Pool is drained.

The Reserve Tank in the Pump Roomrequires power from the Boiler Room, so this room canalso serve as a conduitif you need to direct steam power to another room.
How To Use The Pump Room
When you start messing with the different levers, it’s important tounderstand the capacity of the tanks, which pipes go to which tank, which pump you need to use when, and how many units of water are in each area.
On the wall next to one of the doors is amap of the pipes and pumps in the Pump Room, which shows you where each one can empty to.
Tank one and twoeach hold four units each, so it’s a matter of counting how many you need to drain or fill to get your desired result.

To control the water for a specific area, first press thebutton on the control panel for the one you want.
Next, find which pipe feeds that area. For example, if you’re emptying the Pool,you’re looking for pipe number six. When you look at the chart, pipe six iscontrolled by pump four.
With the Pool selected on the control panel, move the switch on thepump away from you to drain the Pool, or toward you to fill it.
Now, because the Pool has nine units and tank one only holds four, to completely drain the pool, you’ll need toempty the tank into one of the other areas to make room. Follow this same process for the other areas as well.
Since the Fountain and Reservoir hold the most units, as long as you don’t need either of those areas,they are good for holding extra waterwhen you need to drain the Pool.
Between tanks one and two is alever that you may use to switch between them. This only works for the Fountain and the Reservoir, since they feed into both tanks.
Reserve Tank
The Reserve Tank can be used to hold extra water,making it easier to drain and fill the Reservoir underground. You’ll need to have the Boiler Room powered up andconnected to the Pump Roomin order to use the Reserve Tank.
Unlike tanks one and two, theReserve Tank holds six units. The control panel for the Reserve Tank is to the left of the main control panel. On it, you’ll see two buttons, one to drain tank one, and the other to fill tank one.Simply press the button for whichever action you need.
