You can remove the tank by lifting the plastic cylinder above the tank straight up and inch or two, then tilting the top of the tank toward you till it comes out. It’s a bit of a tight fit, but it should work! Or you can lift the tank straight up, then swing the bottom of the tank out toward you.

Some studies also suggest that alkaline water might help slow bone loss. But further studies are needed to find out if it influences overall bone mineral density and if the benefit continues over the long term.”
