Tank sweats and cries? Tips from Master Oak

Few people faced with the problem of condensation on the toilet tank. But it turns out not much, and those who could defeat her. We investigate the matter further.

Note that the negative effects of fogging tank manifest immediately, but over time the moisture will trigger the development of mold and rust make available metal parts.

Problem 1.

Most often there is condensation on the tank due to the low temperature tap water. This happens even in the summer, when the indoor air is much warmer than the water flowing into the reservoir. It cools the air and the cold air gives moisture, since the laws of physics can not hold it in the same quantities. For this reason, the street is rain, sweat window, etc.

Worst of all, when fittings in the tank is faulty and pass waterAnd then cold water is constantly. If the shut-off valve is working properly, the water in the tank warms up and dries on the outside tank.

Decision. You can do so as in the photo below, but it is a measure of comic more extra day or two.

It would be correct to do so:

1. Ensure the health of the drain mechanism and the floating crane in the tank. This crane may not completely overlap, and slowly but continuously supply water to the tank, and all that is necessary is to start the "sweating".

2. Strong condensation will stop and by installing the tank insulation layer. This is troublesome and not everyone afford.

problem 2

Constant high humidity in the sanitary block also causes chronic misting surfaces plumbing, but the tank in the first place.

Decision. Check how the ventilation. For this:

1. Know the status of the vent. Open it to check whether the flame of a match the normal rod and, if necessary, cleaned. And, perhaps, it should be cleaned only covering the vent grille and the problem is solved.

2. Alternatively, to improve the bathroom ventilation can be a little trim the bottom edge of the door leaf in the bathroom (when it does not hurt the door), only 0.5-1 cm. This will significantly improve the circulation, will not wet the air to stagnate and cause condensation to form. Cm. photo below.

3. Some find a solution to install in an outlet of the fan to be included either independently or together with lighting and forcibly ejecting moist air.

6. Know-how. The newest, reliable and expensive way to solve the unwanted condensation problem - the purchase of a new model of a tank with heat-insulated walls. But it is, perhaps, not yet a popular move, so choose from what is affordable.
