No one will argue with the fact that the bathroom is a room in which various kinds of household problems occur most often - then the pipes were clogged, then the smell from the sewage to the house goes, then some pests appear, and there is also a condensate on the toilet tank. Let's deal with you today with the last of the problems listed and find out how to get rid of it and what methods there are.
Problem number 1.
Someone may not pay attention to the fact that condensate constantly appears on the toilet tank, but it is impossible to do so, because it is a fairly serious problem that if not deciding, will turn into a lot of other problems, for example, the appearance on the walls in the bathroom Molds, fungus, as well as a damage to the repair of this room, and not only you, but also at your neighbors.
The most wrong approach to this issue is to simply substitute any container under the tank so that the condensate is glasses there. The outcome of this approach is the emergence of the mass of other problems. It should be understood that the presence of such condensate on the tank is a signal that there are any sewage problems, a system of ventilation, or with a water system.
As soon as you found that the moisture droplets appear on any part of the toilet or other instruments in the toilet, you need to immediately inspect all engineering systems that are in this room.
In order to solve any problem, the first thing is found to find out for what reason it originated, which is "root of evil." This case is no exception, so, proceed.
Causes of condensation
As soon as the reason for the appearance of such a problem is revealed, you can immediately find the right solution in this situation, so forward in search of the cause. In fact, the reasons may be much, but the most common in this case are:
- Drops of temperature modes. The problem can be in temperature drop. If you compare, then you can see that the temperature indicators of the bathroom are an order of magnitude higher than the temperature in the tank, because it is constantly filled with cold water. It was because of this that the very condensate can appear on the tank.
- The next reason may be a problem in the drain system. If your drain tank often leaks, then the appearance of condensate becomes a frequent event, so keep this fact in mind. In turn, the leakage of the tank often occurs due to breakdown of the float valve.
- Insufficient ventilation or its complete absence. In order for the level of humidity in the bathroom, it is necessary, it is necessary that there is good ventilation, that is, the room should be well ventilated.
The reasons were considered, now we go to the methods of combating this problem.
Ways to deal with the problem
The solution to the problem will depend on the cause of:
- If the condensate on the tank appeared due to the problems of the pieces of the drain tank, then you need to immediately repair the IL in if it is impossible, then replace with new ones.
- In the event that the problem appears due to a sharp difference in temperature, then the simplest solution will be to supply warm water to your tank. The problem in this case will be solved in operational order, you can say instantly. It is necessary to say that the water supplied to the tank should not be too hot, otherwise your system does not have to work for a long time.
- Minimizing the consumption of cold water. Such a measure you can not only remove the condensate from the toilet bowl, but also reduce the amount of payment for it. Condensate does not appear on the toilet in this case, because the water in the tank always remains a little and she simply has time to warm up.
- If not one of these methods for some reason you do not fit, then you can contact the thermal insulation. Open the tank cover, pre-drained all the water from it and glue its walls with thermal insulation material (inexpensive and convenient - thermal insulation film).
Replacing a drain tank
It often happens that condensate on the tank is formed due to the fact that the parts inside it are faulty. Let's find out how to do it right:
- If you decide to completely replace the tank, then at hand you must have drain fittings, the tank itself (new), fastening parts, sealant (in this case, the silicone is best).
- When all the necessary details are at your hand, then proceed to the dismantling of old parts and parts, just do not forget to pre-turn off the water supply system from the tank. Remove the valves and remove the tank from the toilet.
- Before returning a new tank to place, it is necessary to assemble the drain fittings, arrange it inside the new tank and only after that the whole "composition" is installed in place. How to do all these steps you can read in the detailed instructions, which is attached to each consumer purchased for a set.
- Install the tank on the toilet, then screw it with bolts and only after that connect to the water supply system.
Whatever it was, with the problem under consideration you can figure it out independently and call the wizard on plumbing work, you simply do not have to. Everything is very simple - they discovered the problem, figured out the reasons for her appearance, after which you choose the way it is solved and implement it in reality.
