T&T: re Holding Tank

[C. Marin Faure]

 >Finally, if your toilet uses sea water, a cupful or two of  
distilled white vinegar flushed once a week--not once a month or  
every couple of months or now and then, but once a week and ONLY  
distilled white vinegar, not cider or any other kind--will prevent  
sea water mineral buildup in the tank and the head discharge line.

Peggy--- We follow this practice but I want to confirm that my memory  
is good.  We put enough water through the toilet after we put the  
vinegar in to move the vinegar out of the toilet completely.   Memory  
tells me that in one of your posts you warned that vinegar is not a  
good thing to leave in a toilet as it can affect the rubber  
components.  Our toilets are old Groco EBs and have large rubber  
diaphragms, flapper valves, etc.  Thanks.
