    My tank was installed around 1966. I am not sure what it was made of, but it did get rusty around the bottom.

    It seems that they are past their sell-by date when they reach the ago of 30 or so, but may last longer with careful nursing. I think that the end is in sight with Lee's one.

    I think the immersion might have been put in at a later date from when the tank (and whole CH) was installed but not certain, but it certainly would have been well over 20 years ago. Immersion still works and gets regular use.
