He said the corroding was most likely from a buildup of mineral deposits.
I woke up in the middle of the night because I heard a odd noise. I wasn’t sure where the sound was coming from so I grabbed my cellphone & turned on my flashlight. I was a little worried because my roommate went condo for the weekend & it was just me in the house. I decided to grab my pepper spray on my keychain in case there was an invader. I went out into the hall & there I heard the sound. It was coming from the lavatory. I felt a little better that the sound was coming from the lavatory. There wasn’t anyone in my house. It was just the toilet making noises. It just so happened that my toilet kept running. I wasn’t sure what to do so I went back to bed & tackled the problem in the afternoon. I called my plumber & he came over. He proposed that I buy a modern toilet due to it being so aged. He said I could pay for the repairs but I just went with his suggestion. I wanted a modern toilet anyway. I didn’t like my old one as much. The inside of my toilet was easily rusty & looked like it was corroding. He said the corroding was most likely from a buildup of mineral deposits. I told him how long my toilet was running for & he said that that wasn’t easily good. This is because I was wasting water & energy. He told me that I most likely lost about two-hundred gallons of water from last night.
