Question: Is there anything I can do to get the scratches out of my toilet bowl?

Yes, you can have your toilet refinished, which is kind of a pain to do. It requires taking the toilet out and having it out of commission for a while. If you do decide to do this make sure you contact a professional and have a back up restroom available. Another option is to buy some porcelain patch and do it yourself. Just shut off your angle valve and flush the toilet until it is almost empty.

You could install insulating foam products to isolate the water from the tank sides. Home Depot carries it for a reasonable price. I think they are about $7-$10. Read the directions for complete directions, but you should completely empty the water from the tank, then use a hairdryer to ensure that the sides are absolutely dry. Cut the foam and apply adhesive. Let it sit for 6 - 8 (time approximates) hours and it will be ready to be refilled and useable.

I see yellow color in the toilet bowl and a few flecks. What do I do?

If you drank the entire solution or if your last bowel movements were clear enough that you were able to see the bottom of the toilet, you should be fine. It is OK if you have some flecks of material. The yellow color is a result of the bile that normally colors the feces. This shouldn’t interfere with the examination.

Should the toilet be flushed after pouring BIO-CLEAN into the bowl?

applewoodblog.com & Frequently Asked Questions
Do not flush for 6-8 hours. The quart of mixture poured into the bowl pushes one quart of water and mixture out of the bowl into the stack. The enzymes and bacteria carried out in the quart leaving the bowl are deposited on the gook coating the pipe. In the following 6-8 hours they embed themselves in the gunk so that when the toilet is next flushed they will not be flushed out of the pipes gunk. The strongest chemical in the world can’t climb the side walls of horizontal pipes.

What's the best way to get rid of a toilet bowl ring?

Cleaning Advice - Check out our carpet and disaster recovery...
Bleach isn't the solution because it may take the color out of a ring, but the ring itself remains and keeps on building up and staining. When the ring is young and tender, an enthusiastic brushing with acid bowl cleaner will generally remove it. If the chemical action of the bowl cleaner doesn't entirely dissolve the mineral buildup, you can scrub it with an abrasive (green) nylon-backed scrub pad while the acid is working. An old ring is a real encrustation that calls for mightier measures.

Question: What size of bowl should I keep my betta in?

FAQ on Betta Care
Bettas should be kept in bowls no smaller than a 1/2 gallon. Anything less than that is not acceptable, unless you take extra precautions for their health. These bowls should be cleaned out completely once a week, and twice a week if it is 1/2 gallon. These tanks really should be considered temporary housing. The bigger the better, as in a larger tank of 2-5 gallons you can add other necessities for them to thrive like filters and heaters.

The fill valve in the tank has a leak in it. Also, if the fill valve has been replaced recently it is possible that it has been set too high.

quot;It depends." The replaceable parts such as flappers and the washers or seals inside a refill valve in some toilets may last several years. But if your water is chemically treated, if you use a bowl cleaner in the tank, if you have high water pressure, the parts are likely to disintegrate sooner. If you touch the flapper and get black goo on your hands, that's a sure sign the part need replacing. Because the rubber gaskets and washers have disintegrated.
