Sweating Toilet

RE: Sweating Toilet Post By colin (Guest Post) (09/12/2007) I Have read a lot of answers but no one has suggested simply cleaning the flapper valve that expells yor water at the bottom of your tank. It will build up scum and will not seal properly therefor you will get water contantly passing through, your water will always be cold inside your tank and the warm air around the outside of your tank will form condensate on yor tank and run down on your floor. This was my problem and it saved me from buying parts that i did not need RE: Sweating Toilet Post By Jean in GA (Guest Post) (03/29/2007) You can make your own insulator for your toilet tank. My husband made a "blanket" for the inside of ours. He got some Darice Foamies Sheets, sold in the craft departments, that have the peel and stick backs. He then emptied the tank of the toilet, and cut the foamies to size. Be sure to do all sides and bottom of the tank. It works GREAT! Cost here in Georgia about $3. RE: Sweating Toilet Post By Margie Minard (Guest Post) (03/28/2007) There is an insulation kit that is available at Lowes for sweaty toilets. It isn't too very expensive and it is supposed to take care of sweaty toilets. I think it's styrofoam sheets and you install it in the tank. Hope this helps RE: Sweating Toilet Post by Ariela (128) | (03/28/2007) Profile | Contact We purchased a tray that connects with wires to catch the sweat from the tank. But each toilet brand has their own tray. The one we got was a different brand than our toilet.. and I couldnt find the reciept to return it. So $12 was shot to heck.

Request: Sweating Toilet Tank Post by moderator (1133) | (03/28/2007) Profile | Blog! | Contact I would like to know what i can do to get the back of the toilet tank from sweating. It is always sweating and the water drips down on the floor. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank You, Kate Answers: RE: Sweating Toilet Tank Have a handyman install a mixer to the pipe leading to the tank. this will add a small amount (adjustable) of warm water to the cold water input and your tank won't sweat.

Extension Svc. agent told me to wrap the tank in a decorative thick type of fuzzy cloth to keep it from sweating onto the floor. I spoke to her after the worst of the weather was over and can't recall if it worked.

They'll know what you need. (04/07/2005) By mairmie
