I've got an Amtrol Pro Flo PT 5 expansion tank that's almost 8 yrs old. Have had the pressure relief valve leak into the pan which resulted in numerous pin holes from corrosion. Then the pan leaked onto the wooden base and started to warp the plywood base. I ended up using a hose to route the water out through the wall. I see now, the problem is probably the expansion tank.
I'd like to replace the expansion tank with the same brand. Looks like the Amtrol Extrol ST-5 is the direct replacement. Anyone know where I can pick one up locally? By the way, this tank has 3/4" NPT. same size ball shutoff for easy next time replacement?
