The reservoir on our toilet condensates bad. Does anyone have any tips on how to fix this problem?
mlw said:A good bath fan might help also. Showers etc build a lot of humidity in the bathroom, exhausting it pulls lower humidity air in from the rest of the house, so their is less water to condense on a cold surface. A good bath fan is a quiet bath fan (less than 2 sone) as folks are more likely to use them. It also helps keep your bathroom from falling apart.

Good luck with that!

TTFishon said:Well, I just checked it and it does have a slight trickle. It's not constant but every few seconds I can hear it. Thanks.

If you feel anything unusual, then you may need a complete overhall kit on your tank.. No not fret as the instructions are forthright. Goodluck....Fred

Fish-On Fred said:It would be better if you do, as that rubber holds up longer against the cloramines in the water. Goodluck, Fred
