It's not made in the United States; it's made in Taiwan. Given that Taiwan is a staunch ally of the United States and is currently engaged in an armed conflict with China, no one should have any reservations about purchasing this well-designed and well-made drain pan. After draining the oil from my truck's diesel engine, mine is rather full and heavy, and it doesn't flex as I handle and pour the used oil into multiple containers for transport to our local recycling center. If I ever needed another, I'd buy one right away.
It was used to change the oil, transmission, and differential fluids. There will be no dripping. The purchase has exceeded my expectations. I would strongly suggest it.

I'm not sure you meant "circumference" when you said that. The flat part of the bottom is smaller than the rim, and the interior isn't exactly circular. The rim is a circle with a DIAMETER of about 19". I believe we will lose one person. If it were round, the bottom would be 13" in diameter, with 5" on each side from the rim and taper. However, the circle is cut short by about 2". I believe a softener tank with a diameter of 11" would fit. I'm not sure if the bottom ribs could support a fully loaded softener, which would likely weigh more than 100 pounds. With a tank inside, it could only hold about a gallon before overflowing. Why not invest in a water heater catch pan and connect it to your floor drain with a pipe or hose?

Despite reading all of the negative reviews about how other users of this product disliked the squarish spout, I decided to purchase it. This catch pan is very sturdy and light for its size, so you won't have to worry about it warping when you pick it up when it's full of liquid.
