Nice try at changing the subject.

What did he write that implies snake or plunger are zero applicability? Read the post below of the how to use the acid and then tell me how exactly you would utilize a plunger or snake to clear the internal flush water passages in the toilet. From hallerb "muriatic acid placed carefully will clean out the interior passages of the toilet 20 minutes and 10 bucks if you need saftety glasses. safe effective fast and cheap. works amazingly well as another poster reported here, I am the one who told him about it ![]() when you flush the toilet actually creates a wave that moves the waste solids into the large bottom drain & trap. but you must have enough flow to start the wave, over time sediment builds up in the interior water passages bowl rim ald slows the flow of fresh water. at some point stuff just swirls around.... watch under the bowl rim, often gunk built up clogging the exit holes. you can use a coathanger end to open the holes some but the sediment still fills the bowl rim and cant be reached. Directions: put on safety glasses, plunge drain bowl water, sponge is good idea so bowl is completely empty tank water can remain as is. put funnel in dip tube top pour a cup or two of muratic acid in funnel. and some in bowl no splashing, and have window open and take deep breath first, then leave room shut door wait at least 15 minutes. then return and flush about 15 times to dilute all remaing acid. you will see brown goo, thats the melted sediment. this really works, and can be repeated if need be." |

The original poster said the toilet was sluggish, and he used a plunger. If
you don't know how to use a plunger or snake, that's your mental deficiency. You can find out, with or without reading about the use of acid. Your choice. If you can read what I wrote. I doubt it. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "Pete C." wrote in message ster.com...

Again, the only reference to using acid was in the context of using it to clear the internal flush water passages where a plunger or a snake has no applicability. Go back and re-read the thread and see if you can improve your reading comprehension. |
