Seems to make perfect sense to me.

In calif in the early 80's, I heard this:

If its brown, flush it DOWN;

if its yellow, let it mellow.


Now, this question:

Using your (or equivalently the above) suggestion, I recall
that some kind of smelly urine-slime would accumulate (under
the water) on the sides of the bowl.

So you were always having to use the toilet-bowl brush.

Question:

That chemical soap-bar-like thing you hang in the
tank, that turns the water blue -- does that eliminate
the problem?

And, in general, what *do* that blue stuff do for you?


Mostly, it screws up the flush-mechanism.




Very true.

You want to shorten the life of every item in the tank, then use
those blue things.


What flush mechanism? The only moving part is the flapper over the hole
from tank to bowl. There are no moving part for the siphon that starts the
flush once there is enough water in the bowl and there are no passages
under 2" in diameter. Are you suggesting that there's a full inch of
accumulation on all the walls of the water going from bowl to drain? Are you
proposing that tank filling water valve is somehow affected by stuff in the water,
that that stuff somehow migrates past 90psi of water shooting past the
valve?

yep.

Nope.
