Portuguese term or phrase: Prato retentor de água
I am translating the Portuguese (Eu) instruction manual of a vacuum cleaner into British English.
A part of the appliance is referred to as 'Prato retentor de água'. It is a relatively small container inside the main body of the vacuum cleaner.
I considered translating it as 'water retention tank', but I am not quite convinced about the term 'tank' to refer to it'.
Any suggestion?

Thank you in advance for the help.

There is another part called the "baffle plate". But I believe since it deals with retention of water, it should be "water filter container".
