Hmm, not really the tank is pretty well sealed in the machine base,
probably 30+ gallons. The evaporation must be happening on the table
as that's the only time the fluid is exposed. The table drains have
hoses that take it straight back to the sump. We almost never have
overflowing into the base tray.

As for stinky, try using a fish-tank bubble from a pet store. It
oxygenates the water and stops the bacteria stagnating. Have not had
to use "the pill" for years.

Ayup. A cheap 110vt timer works great and you only need to run it about
3 hours a day in actuality. Timers are about $6 at Kmart etc etc if
that much.

One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
