I use well water in my home and one of my toilets is a The Gerber Ultra Flush. My other toilets I can put some bleach into the tank from time to time to get the deposits out. The Ultra flush is a closed system. There is black crap coming out with the clean water. Can I open the plastic tank and add bleach?

I cleaned out my water cooler using water & bleach and I rinsed it like 6 times. My water has a very faint bleach taste now. Out of curiousity I tested my water with a pool kit i had to see what the chlorine level was and it was high (3.0). How harmful is it to drink this water?

I left a cast iron skillet on the counter for a day and it got wet under it. It has left rust stains on the counter top. I have tried regular kitchen cleaner and straight bleach, but nothing has worked. Do you have any suggestions????
Thanks!!

I have some floating aquatic plants that may have snail eggs on them. Will unconditioned tap water kill them? Will it harm the plants? I could bleach the plants with a dilute mixture of bleach/water but if I can accomplish the same thing with a few days in a bucket of tap water, i would prefer that.

I have some coffee and makeup stains on my bathroom counter top. It is no fancy material, just generic laminate white counter top. Bleach and scouring powder did not work at all. Any suggestions?

Why does our hot water smells like rotten eggs?




We recently replaced the anode rod which was just about gone, by the way with an aluminum one. We have a fairly new water softener due to having well water and also have a Culligan whole house water filtration unit. After replacing the anode rod, we ran the monthly bleach through the whole house water filtration unit. Now the hot water smells like eggs.

Can you clean a PUR water filter?




Is there a way to clean a filter for PUR water purifier? We have the jug one and they recamend you change them ever 2 months. It seems like this is a bit of a waste and expensive to boot. Can you just clean it in bleach or something and continue to use it? Or is there a different way that would work? If so then how? IF you can’t then please give a reason as to why?
How do you recamend cleaning it?

I have one of the dog bowls with the big huge bottle of water on top so when the dog drinks, it refills itself. I’m wondering how to clean inside of the bottle.. What should I use and how to I do it? Thank you.
How can slime be O.K. for a dog? And if I use bleach, what if some of the bleach water stays in the bottle? My dog may get sick….
Wait, never mind, I can rinse it a few times. But, still, the slime thing????

Also, if you could teach me how to clean the 5 ltr gallon water container. Thanks
What bleach particularly you mean? Isn’t it harmful to ingest if it contaminates my drinking water? Can I use baking soda instead?

Is there a way to clean a PUR water filter?




I’m well aware that they are disposable, but I want to learn how to clean the filter I already have. I’ve heard that soaking them in bleach, and then reactivating the coal with salt works, but I don’t know in what quantities.

I have some 5 gal Culligan water bottles for my dispenser and wanted to know the best way to clean it. Are there any types of kits I can get like scrubs or brushes to clean the inside? Should I just use bleach?
