In general, you can clean them out and continue to use them. They only rust 
because the overflow hose out to the filler pipe is cracked, letting water get in 
the tank. You MUST fix this or the water will ruin everything.

I think you can clean yours out, but if you really need a better one, I have 
good used ones. They are hard to ship, however, so you should look for one 
in your area.

Clean the tank, fix the cracked overflow hose, replace the filter.

Unscrew the nut on the bottom and remove the cover. Be careful of the 
sensor wire; it is fragile. I can usually fix these if you don't trust yourself.
