• Use a detergent or non-abrasive toilet cleaner.
• Use a soft-bristled plastic brush to clean your CEFIONTECT toilet.

• Use cleansers, polishing powders or detergents that include gritty or coarse particles which might scratch the china surface.
• Use acid or alkaline detergents or cleaners which could etch the china surface.
• Use metal scrub brushes or steel wool to clean your CEFIONTECT products.
• If you have hard water stains, see How to remove hard water stains from your CEFIONTECT product

• Clogged sewer line or toilet bowl clogs
• Clogged vent line
• Incorrect settings or worn out toilet parts

• A previously clogged sewer pipe may have allowed solids to back up into the air vents. When the clog was cleared, materials stayed lodged in the vent pipe.
• A snow and ice storm may have allowed an ice cap to form, closing off the pipe.
• A squirrel or bird may have decided the pipe was a good place to build a nest, or store food.

• The flapper
• The flush valve
• The fill valve
• The trip lever

• If the water level does not drop, the problem is with the flapper. See our FAQ titled: How to replace a rubber flapper.
• If the water level drops to the bottom of the flush valve, where it meets the china, the gasket at the base of the flush valve is bad. See our FAQ titled: How to replace a flush valve on a two piece toilet.

• It might be hissing or continually dripping from the end of refill tube into the overflow tube on the flush valve.
• If the water is not filling the tank at all, or is filling in erratic starts and stops, it is possible you have debris in the valve. For this symptom, cleaning the fill valve may eliminate the symptom.

Removing the Balance Spool:

• Turn both water stops (hot and cold) clockwise to shut off the water to the valve.
• On the valve, the balance spool is located next to the cold-water stop and looks like a hex nut.
• With a wrench turn the hex nut counter clockwise and pull the balance spool out.
• The balance spool consists of the large cylinder with a smaller cylinder inside. The inner cylinder should move freely inside the large cylinder.

Cleaning the Balance Spool:

• If the inner smaller cylinder is stuck, shake or tap the spool to release inner cylinder. Rinsing the spool with warm water will help loosen the cylinder.
• Clean both the inner and the outer cylinders with warm water, vinegar, or household cleaner and rinse.
• Reinsert the inner spool (cylinder) into the large spool and verify that the inner spool moves freely.

Installing the Balance Spool:

• Verify that the balance spool has an O-Ring next to the lip of the hex nut.
• Verify that the inner spool moves freely inside the large spool.
• Insert the balance spool (both cylinders) and turn clockwise with wrench and tighten.
• Check for leaks when the water stops are turned on.

Mold: How it may have gotten there, and how to remove it.

What is Slime Mold?

Slime mold is a special class of mold that forms a slime coat to protect it from harsh environments. A toilet bowl provides the perfect atmosphere for any type of microorganism as it has food, water, air and a nice warm location.

Mold can come in a variety of colors – most are black or dark brown, but they also show up in pinks, blues, reds and some of them are absolutely beautiful. Don't let the pretty colors fool you, if you don't remove them they will take over the toilet.

How Did Slime Mold Get in my Toilet?

Mold spores are everywhere, and can travel through the air. (Ever wonder how the mold got on that slice of bread?) When one hits the toilet bowl, it may start a small colony, and if left alone, will completely cover the inside of the bowl. It can also grow in the tank if that is where the spore landed. It is not uncommon for the mold to show up in all the toilets in a single home, especially when the homeowner uses one toilet brush to clean all the toilets.

When we explain this to customers, their first reaction is "No way! I am a meticulous housekeeper." This is not an indication of poor house keeping. The spore may get picked up on your clothes during your daily travels, and fall into the bowl when you use the toilet at home. It is also possible for the spores to have come in on the tools that were used to install the new toilet.

How do I Eliminate Slime Mold?

Chlorine will kill the mold spore, but if it has already developed a slime layer, chlorine alone won't work. In order to remove the spots, you need to:

• Scrub the colony off the china, using a non-scratching scour pad.
• Then you need to follow up with a chlorine rinse to kill the spores that you removed, or they will just form another colony.

It may take repeated treatments to finally kill off the colony. One way to ensure continuous treatement is by using an in tank Chlorine tablet. Our installation manual warns against the use of these in tank tablets, but we need to address the mold issue, and we are only going to use it once. The tablet will last about 30 days, and each time the toilet is flushed, it will wash all the water contact surfaces with a little extra chlorine. This step is essential if the mold has grown up in the rim holes, as you will be unable to scrub that area.

To find the toilet model number and color code:

• Look inside your tank or under your tank lid. Always exercise caution when removing the tank lid, as it is a fragile item.
• On the china walls inside your tank you will see a model number stamped or engraved in the porcelain. They will have letters with a three-digit number. There may be more letters following, depending on additional features available on that model of the toilet. This stamp maybe on your tank lid as well.
  
  For Example:
  
  ST743E
  CST 854
  C733
  MS974CEFG.
  
  
• The most common location for these markings is on the back wall of the tank, or on the right hand wall, opposite the trip lever.
• The color code will start with a # followed by a two-digit number.
  
  For Example:
  
  #01 - Cotton White
  #03 - Bone
  #04 - Grey
  #11 - Colonial White
  #12 - Sedona Beige
  #51 - Ebony
