PaulAllen Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I am constantly cleaning my toilet bowl. A brown scum builds up where the water sits and builds up very rapidly. I use the blue flush cake things but it doesn't stop the build up. Anybody know how to stop/slow down this nasty scum? Paul Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Allen Try VIXOL it will get rid of the stain,but it will return.As Rooo says it is the iron from the soil which gets into the wells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulAllen Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 Thanks everyone. I don't have a problem getting rid of it. It just builds up so fast. I like the idea of a water filter. I rent my house and it is a gamble if I'm going to stay in it for a prolonged period. Would hate to install and then move out 3 months later as I am sure they are quite expensive. Maybe I can get the landlord to pay for half. Either way, thanks. PA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PA get the land lord to pay half that a joke is it . go to water tech near bandon hospital take a couple of litres of your water with you and they will test it and price you for the correct filter system asthere are many different water catorgories on the island .they are not as exspensive as you might think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's that? Much wiser now,trusted people & thought they knew what they were doing. The place in Maenam in the big purple grey building,are by far more knowledgable.

PaulAllen Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 Please do not use my post to talk about soccer! I would rather watch the scum grow in my toilet that have to watch one of those BORING long games of people just kicking a ball around. BTW, my original question was how to STOP/SLOW the growth of the scum in my toilet not how to clean it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuian Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 it is ironoxide very common nuisance in the south. You got the anwer filtering! With Magnesite compound i the filter! If the house is rented, why not simply ignore the "scum"?! Or get a bordeaux, or dark blue colored toilet, wont show as much as in a white one... cheers drom a long term samui resident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poorfarang Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Why does it matter how fast the scum grows? Your girlfriend should be scrubbing that thing everyday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qualtrough Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Instead of installing a large filtration system you might be able to get by with a small in-line filter that would not be expensive at all. You could install that between the wall and the line going into the tank. A few hundred baht at best, and if that doesn't do it you have lost very little. You could probably find something that would work at a Homepro or similar, or a good hardware store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flush in the morning and Vola clean bowl! There are proper toilet cleaning liquids that will do the same thing. Check your local store or supermarket............ Remember that whatever you put into the WC bowl will end up in the septic tank and can affect the operation of that unit which depends on bacterial action to digest the waste. Google septic tank management and find out what you should and should not put into septic tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
