Right so just to be clear. Having blocked the S bend
with a balloon or similar in all 5 cases, the amount of brick
acid solution necessary to clean all 5 bowls, which will necessarily
have to be filled to near the brim to dissolve the limescale on
the backs of the bowls, will do no harm if released into
the septic tank.

Even if that is the issue, (rather than just your imagination of
it) anyone with a better imagination could think of far easier
ways than you apparently can.

I never said use hydrochloric acid did you?

You twice referred to acid which would dissolve limescale
if left overnight. The usual recommendation for this is
dilute hydrochloric acid which is usually referred to as brick
acid, if for no other reason than, it's easier to spell.

Your first reference

"Anyhoo given that a decent septic tank worth having probably has a
capacity of 2-2.5k litres+, all this fretting over a couple of
occasional litres of dilute acid"

"Your second reference in response to my statement that in adverts
for household limescale removers "It only dissolves it in the adverts."

I haven't seen adverts for acid - have you seen any?


Once again. (this time from your own attempt at proof) it is clear
*I* never suggested brick acid or hydrochloric acid. Who
did?

So what acid were you actually referring, to which is capable
of dissolving limescale overnight ?

If you remember it was you who insisted that this acid of your
choice actually dissolved the limescale, rather than softened
it, so that no scraping or other manual intervention was
necessary.

That's assuming that you or the other members of your household
do actually need to use this particular lavatory bowl at least
once a day, of course.

Read the thread.


I have.

Your only references to acid were the two I've already quoted.

So what acid were you actually referring to, which is capable
of dissolving limescale overnight ?


I think he's forgotten?


I think you're being lazy.
