If you have a "blue thing" in the toilet, how come after flushing the color fades?

[MichaelD]

I guess I'm in a George Carlin type mood. I'm not talking about as the tablet wears out, the color gets paler. I'm talking about; you flush, the water is dark blue. 15 minutes later, it's pale blue. One hour later, it's clear.

I don't have a leak (that didn't sound right, but I'll leave it b/c I LOLed) in my tank...where does the damn color go? I can't go if the water isn't blue!!! :Q

me\<---thinking about keeping a bottle of non-staining blue food coloring on top of the tank, "just in case it's not blue."

How many times an hour do you have to go? :Q

you're better then this

<< you're better then this >>



Yes, I am. But sometimes, I have these questions just ricocheting around in my tiny little skull.....

WTF would you want blue water, anyway?

Because it makes the water smell like bleach (to me, that means sanitary) and....I like the way the blue water looks, OK?

I heard a politican once say that you can save ink if you write slower.

I guess if you don't mind an occasional log in the bowl you can skip flushes too! :Q

Cheers!

I've lived in "clear water households" for 20 years now. The toilet has always been fine. It's not like brown stuff grows in it w/o the blue thing.

You're correct; as long as proper cleaning habits are maintained, the bowl does stay reasonably clean. However, the blue thing does keep the bowl cleaner, longer, b/t cleanings. *CONFIRMED*

Dude.... you have issues.

I'll piss in clear water, blue water, polka dot water, whatever.

 

[MichaelD]

<< Dude.... you have issues >>



...and that is news since when? I have more issues than the History Department at the New York Times building. LOL@my sad self.

Hey Monel, how is that triplet of 12W6's treating you? Are you deaf yet? I've had my system crankin' lately....gotta love wattage, you know?

Id just like to confirm (you may now put the *** CONFIRMED *** in the title) that this does occur...

Why?? I have no idea.. But all my crappers have em in it, and they all go clear after awhile...

Thank you! It has now been *CONFIRMED* (somebody else backed up my statement...) that this indeed, does occur. |Can anyone offer some scientific insight as to why?|

i think that would imply either the blue stuff evaporates, reacts, or settles out though if it settled you should see it on the bottom of the tank.

Like you, I am intelligent. I thought the same thing...so I have gotten down on my knees and peered deep into the water...and saw nothing. I expected to see small particles of Blue Stuff. But no; no blue stuff. WUWT?
