[Rhodes22-list] Water Tank

[Michael Meltzer]

I guess, I not sure why stan has that postion, thier is nothing special about the tank other than the shape, is hold freash water
like any other. is sealed with a vent but is not "pusereized". I do use a on-demand water system, but has nothing to do with the
tank.
