    Can muriatic acid be safely used to remove mineral buildup in toilet siphon jet?

    Thanks, Matt. 😃 I appreciate the tip to use Lysol cleaner. I’ll probably pick some up for regular maintenance to keep scaling at bay going forward. After several hours of soaking in CLR and quite a bit of mechanically chipping out, I think I got the siphon and rim jets cleared. It appears to...

    Can muriatic acid be safely used to remove mineral buildup in toilet siphon jet?

    We have a toilet that flushes too slowly. A quick search online and some simple diagnostics revealed the siphon jet at the bottom of the bowl and rim jets under the rim are clogged with mineral buildup (the siphon jet at the bottom of the bowl is almost completely blocked!). I’m in the process...

    I ended up doing nothing. So far the actual functionality hasn’t been affected.

    Replace aging TCELL940 with TCELLS340 ?

    I would perform an OCLT to rule out something in the water consuming more chlorine than normal before replacing the cell.

    Front Load Washer recommendations?

    I‘m sure it helped that it’s just the two of us, so it doesn’t get used as much as it would with a family with kids. But yeah, we really can’t complain.

    The ultimate answer to the Q: what happens if you fill salt water pool with sea water

    Reminds me of a place were we vacationed once in the 70’s when we lived in Turkey. The beach resort had a pool they filled with water from the sea each morning, then drained it back into the sea each evening. Now that’s a real saltwater pool! 😁👍
