[Shop-talk] Brown stain in toilet (was well that can't be good...)

[Tom Jones]

We have "community water" which is semi treated well for about 100 homes and
we all have the spots. "Greased Lightning" from Home Depot, about $8 for 32
oz. Spray on/in, let sit for 2-3 minutes and scrub with a brush. Lasts about
3 weeks and then it's time to do it again.
