    1949 Eljer? toilet in need of lift rods/tank ball - with pictures!

    Eljer Sylenta It's great to see one of my videos on this forum. After cleaning as much of the staining as I could inside the tank and making sure the china flush valve seat was clean, I installed a regular tank ball and lower lift wire, and an authentic Eljer handle (any generic will do, but I...

    Toilet Brand?

    At Home: Full bath = Toto Drake Comfort Height 1.6 gpf. Half bath = Toto Eco Drake Comfort Height 1.28 gpf, both excellent performers! Water and sewer rates are rising due to sewer plant upgrades and new water meters. The Toto toilets and the LG front loading washer are a necessity to keep...

    My first experience with a waterless urinal Yesterday while out shopping, we went to lunch in a fairly new restaurant. While there, I went to the men's room. Here are my observations: The restroom looked new, and offered antibacterial soap and hand sanitizer. There was one of the new...

    American Standard Cadet 3 Blue Ring Staining

    Same thing happened to me over 3 years ago when I put a Cadet 3 in my half bath. It was the second bowl to be brought back to the store because it was defective. The first had a projection in the bottom that wasn't trimmed out, so the bowl rocked. The second bowl had the blue stain covering a...

    1950's Eljer Toilet Tank Wires Question

    When I bought that toilet back in 1998, the screw that held the guide to to the china bump out was broken. I replaced it with a brass screw, washer, and nut from a hardware store. There was a nasty foam liner in the tank that I removed, and the remnants of the adhesive is what makes the inside...

    Litter box for cats. How to keep it from smelling.

    I'm glad you were able to find the cat's family. It was also a great thing that you took it in and kept it safe.

    Litter box for cats. How to keep it from smelling.

    I changed the litter box last night before we headed out for the weekend. This batch had the Bio-Clean mixed in it. With nearly 7 days on it, and in the warm humid weather, while it was not 100% odor free, it wasn't as bad as before using the Bio-Clean. Terry, how much Bio-Clean did you use...

    Litter box for cats. How to keep it from smelling.

    Terry, The Bio-Clean arrived a couple days ago. I have just changed (and cleaned) the litter box. The box is lined with a lawn and leaf bag to make it easier to change. After the old litter and bag is removed, the pan is sprayed with Odo-Ban, wiped dry. I put 1 tablespoon of Bio-Clean at...
