6. Bricks are bad - they decompose and the sediment can cause problems |

10. I buy those by the case...... That's your family? |
|
I only use the red ones because of the chlorine content in our local water (Bronx) but I put those in for my customers almost daily. Great product.

7. Bricks or Water Bottles |
|
We used to fill old dishwashing liquid bottles with water and put them in the tank. Sometimes 2 or 3. Now I have a low water flow tank, so I don't need either.

but in other parts of the world they have a saying - "If it's Yellow, let it Mellow, if it's Brown, flush it down".
We've done it and it does save water - but it leaves stains in your toilet (all those minerals I guess). And if you're trying to sell your house you'll end up using horrid chemicals to get those stains out and so it ends up being a wash.
