We just saw something you should not be doing with your toilet.
Just in case you can't see the words in the picture, they say:
"CAUTION
Use of in-tank cleaning products voids warranty, as they can destroy parts and cause water leaks that may lead to property damage."
This warning is clearly marked by the manufacturer in this case.
This is not an idle warning. The flapper is usually the first thing affected. The flapper will lose its seal and will cost you money in lost water. The fill valve is activated when the water level goes down in the tank. Even more frightening is how this affects the rubber washers around the bolts and the fill valve. If these were to leak while you were away, then the fill valve would constantly be on because the tank would be leaking. This could cause massive water damage.
Please do not put any chemical cleaner in your toilet tank. And always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
....Unless of course, you really want to needlessly pay for more plumbing in your house...
We didn't think so.
