BTW, my current plastic bottle is 14 yo, so what do I want?  I probably
won't even be alive in 14 more years, and despite the scare verbage on the
GoWesty site, I don't think the bottles actually fail suddenly.  Rather,
they get a small crack that grows over time.  At least that's what happened
with mine, and monitoring it has worked.  I WILL replace it, but with which
tank?
