Toilet Bowl seal leak
2011 Aqua-Magic pedal style won't hold water in the bowl . Checked seal for deposits (none), any ideals on what to do, besides buying a new seal?

Just finished tearing apart my Sealand/Dometic ball type toilet. I replaced the moving parts/ball and seal around a year ago and worked good until about a month ago. The water would not stay in the bowl after flushing.
It is amazing how much crystalized "stuff" is on both sides of the seal and bottom flange of the tank. I used a sharp chisel to clean off the bottom of the bowl. I used a fine grit sanding block with water funning over the rubber gaskets and finally had everything clean. I used toothpaste and a old toothbrush on the ball. I re assembled and all seems to be good so far.
Looks like the "stuff" starts to collect on the parts then the seal is finally broken.
