Is the tank 100% aluminum? I need a tank like this for water storage.

Yes 100% aluminum even the 3 pieces which are the ports are aluminum so careful not to screw brass or steel fittings too tight. Use Mylar tape or a good pipe dope

No. It sure looks like stainless. I am not 100% sure, though. It certainly doesn't look like aluminum.The seller should post this kind of information, I think.

I would be very surprised if it was aluminum as mine has rusted pretty significantly in the year I've owned it. To be fair, I live full time on a boat near salt water but if it was aluminum I would think it wouldn't rust even then.

It is made of glass but the base has a plastic black frame. It's a beautiful modern looking tank but when filled with water feels about 20 pounds or more. When lifting it, the plastic base can feel a bit flimsy. When empty, you wouldn't be able to tell.

The casing of the filters are plastic. The tank is stainless steel. I think that the plastic is safe because it has to endure high pressure. I believe that the tank is the most important part. You will be using the water int he tank first

It is not. Has great power for my 60 gal tank. Actually, it HAD great power. Stopped working 14 mos after purchase.

Yes. The one I have is totally stainless steel, even the tank. The picture on Amazon looks like the tank is plastic. Since mine is metal you can't see when it's running out of soap, so I fill it up every so often rather than wait until it goes dry. I also brought Kraus stainless sink and faucet to match with built in pull dowm sprayer. Excellent quality. Would buy them again. Worth the expense.

Found the grade on their website: food grade type 304 18/8 stainless steel. No aluminum and it is not lined with plastic. We use glass bottles but were traveling and wanted something more sturdy. Bonus that it converts to a sippy cup (baby is still trying to figure it out though, you really need to suck to get anything out). I'm happy with this purchase so far, but haven't had it long enough/used it enough yet to write a proper review. Hope this helps :)

Yes it is totally sealed, waterproof where u can submerge it in water. My tank is larger than what it is rated for and works perfect.

Durability/effectiveness seams good, it is plastic, fairly heavy gauge. To answer the mineral deposit question I would think over time it would have to be broken down for a good cleaning, but it won't be a monthly thing. I really like mine. Even ordered another for my other tank. I have been using in tank uv so gained space in the tank plus eliminated one thing to be cleaned the in tank ones get full of waste and muck.

Yes, base, water tank and iron are plastic material. Iron is an aluminum color. Soft-touch switch along top of handle appears to disengage when the iron is removed from its base so cannot accidentally be changed while in use.

It is most definitely aluminum. It is very strong and I am quite pleased with it. I have had it about 6 months. I installed it myself and found it very easy to do.

No, it is not. It is made of rigid plastic. I think that is better, as it helps prevents leaks.

I believe it was aluminum, It was quite sturdy until the canopy was filled up with water. That is when the frame broke....in many places.

Yes. It's made of all aluminum. I've been using it for 3 month with no issue. Great product.

Yes it is made of aluminum. I did not notice a drop in performance or lack of function due to it being aluminum.

Yes the tank is made of glass. The base of the tank and the lid are made of plastic though.
