It is said to be 25 gallons and is the original (30 yrs old) I spent New Years Eve tracing a leak and replacing the Head and hoses. I have to say, if anything is going to break my spirit it will be the sanitation system. It sorely tests the princess in me.
The replacement has the exact dimensions but only holds 18 gallons. the tank is thicker than the original so that may be where the lost gallons are. I haven't received the new tank yet. I think replacing the tank will be pretty straight forward - why does the hair on the back of my neck stand up every time I say “ installation should be pretty straight forward”?
