I believe that it is a 30 gallon size. It is half the size of the tall one which I think is at least 40 gallons.
Also to the other person asking about turning off the water heater at the breaker: I would first call the electric company before doing it. People could have done this probably safely years ago, but we're now into computerized modes now. I was told by an FPL person to not turn it off at the circuit breaker because it could eventually break it. If in doubt, always ask. They had no problem installing a switch for me on my water heater and it was free. Also, see if your electric company that offers on call. I have had it for years, and I've never noticed an interruption in my service.
$4.50 is deducted from my bill in the winter time and $9.50 in the summertime. It is a way of savings.
