how do you store it once you have finished?
Dont argue with a retard, they will just pull you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Try taking the lid off so air gets at it and take it in, it will be from the long cold damp night.

Mines left on the trailer in a garage full all night and all weekend.  Had it a year now, never had a problem!

I have a water feature in the back garden, i have had it for a few years now. you have to refill it with water so one day I filled it with pure water and within a week the stones had all turned green and were very slimey. After cleaning them I refilled with tap water and had no problems at all.
This problem was due to the pure water, why I don't know butmaybe some one has the answer.
