I Saw Sunny Dave's Post Earlier.......

Regarding his toilet. Last year I had a lot of trouble flushing the toilet, so much so that I ended up breaking the handle on the cistern. After several days of flushing with a bucket of water I called a plumber. He fixed it after going for the parts. The reason for my post is, at the time my bathroom was only 3 years old. The plumber said, That trough where the water goes is mesh/net at the bottom, with yours the mesh has completely disintegrated. In my opinion this is due to putting the blue block in the cistern. If you want the water to be blue hang a block on the side of the toilet. In the past Mic could have sorted this without a plumbers bill, if you use a cistern blue block maybe you should bare this in mind.

What is a blue block and what does it do....apart from make the water blue
?

Never thought of that jeza I sometimes have a cistern block to keep the water tank clear. I'll just use the toilet block in future.

It is supposed to keep you toilet clean and sweet smelling.

Surely though, anything hung on the side won't sterilise the whole bowl, just around and under the block. Why don't they make toilets hardy enough to cope ?

[Jeza]

Probably not OG but it will save a plumbers bill if you don rubber gloves and do under the rim yourself.

and bog seats that don't disintegrate - just replaced one here this very day, only been there two years.

How did it disintegrate DT. In my experience large people break them.

Mine just came to pieces when I lifted it to clean underneath.
Not exactly hefty.
