New toilet for my fiver

I'm not picking side here, just want to make a comment. In our 12 years of FTing this is what I've noticed with my experience of rebuilding numerous toilets for friends and myself. Many of the issues are "self inflicted". The biggest issue is folks cleaning toilets with caustic cleaners ruining the bowl seal (removes the thin layer of the Teflon coating) in short order. I use the Dollar Store version of Scrubby Bubbles. Or they try cleaning the throat of the toilet with a toilet brush (tears up seal). The seal starts binding which adds effort/load on the foot pedal and cable mechanism. In due time it also causes gaulding of the waste ball. Once I discovered this situation, our toilet has been fine for 5 years. Our first seal went out at 4 months old. I didn't read this information anywhere, I figured it out. Not too difficult. Yes, the water valves can be an issue, seems that calcium builds up internally and a piece breaks loose and gets caught up in the seal and makes it leak externally, mainly when the pedal is pressed down. We use a water softener to minimize that. Just my thoughts. rockin'
