I have to agree with this, as akward as it sounds, I ran mine with maybe a 1/4 gallon resovior, just enough for the pump to pick up and flow and saw luke warm water at most, never had a thermo read out on any temps but the finger test always said "good to go".

But like it has been said, with no resivoir there is no place to add ice/additives to use the full capability's of the water circulation.

But who is going to use ice, come on
