Yes the black spots are at the top of the bowl, 2 to 3 inches or more above
the water line and eventually spreads to the underside of the seat, only if
I do nothing (like when I was gone for 2 weeks), will the black stuff spread
to below the water line -- I came home and my wife had an all black toilet
bowl.

rj made a good point, one I should have noted. Softeners don't get
the
iron out if they are just softeners. Sorry I can't help you on this one.
I
have no experience with iron problems as I live in a area with out such
problems.

BTW when you say it is at the rim of the bowl and grows up, do you
mean
the water level? The rim is the very top of the bowl.
