What's coming in older toilets 40 years old and older is lime will buildup in the jet
way around the toilet. When the water goes through the flush valve and comes out to the
rim, these jets will get clogged with calcium. I am not a proponent of cleaning them with
a wire. I am a proponent of using toilet bowl de-limer. It?s an acid solution and what we
do we take and we pour this whole quart in to the overflow tube all at once. When it
goes into the overflow tube, you will then notice the whole quart. You will then notice
that the acid is coming out of the rim of the toilet. As it comes out, it is taking
the lime in the jets with it. Now most toilets, this will work fine, one quart will save them.
Occasionally I will need two quarts and rarely I'll need three. But I'll tell you, for five
dollars a quart, it?s much better to save an old toilet and de-lime the rim than it
is to throw the toilet away. We'll take this toilet and we're going to let it sit for 40
minutes and then we're going to flush it and we'll see how our results are and that should
fix the toilet.
