Thanks Bostique. I was guessing in the $5k and up range.

Depending on how you count it, the house has 1-3 bedrooms and 5 people currently in it. The small tank was likely installed with one BR claimed (only one has a closet) and under different rules. I'd bet it's approaching the 30+ year mark. Long ago this place was considered a summer camp and that might have been sufficient then and like-to-like replacement was ok without re-permitting.

The cost difference between 1000 or 1500 gallon plastic is only a few hundred and both that I looked at are approved for NH.
