"How come on a summer day more than a winter day, there is water on the bottom of the toilet tank and on the floor under it? How can this be prevented?"
The water on the tank is actually condensation. The high humidity on a hot day and the cold water that fills up the toilet tank causes the tank to "sweat".
The solution for this problem is to isolate the cold water in the tank by either insulating the tank with our Styrofoam insulation kit, or replace the tank with a lined tank
(some manufacturers with some toilet models sell, but these are very costly and don't prevent condensation any more than our kits).
"My toilet is rather small. Will this kit fit?"
We haven't seen a toilet that this kit won't fit into (but we have had one complaint that the insulation was "too
bulky" for their low flush toilet).
"Can I remove the lining later?"
Yes, it can be removed later but it could take a little elbow grease to scrap it off of the tank walls.
"How hard is it to install this kit?"
Very easy. You need to totally dry out the tank but other than that, it is very easy to install.
"How long will the liner last (will it hold up)?"
Polystyrene is a plastic that will last a long time if you do not expose it to sunlight and/or expose it to a high concentration of chlorine. If you do not install an automatic toilet bowl cleaner
into your tank (most have chlorine in them) then generally this liner will last a very long time.
"Besides the above, what else can be done to help prevent or slow down condensation on toilets?"
One can install a tempering valve with a hot and cold water source. The trick is to add water to your tank at close to the
temperature of the room.
Having air conditioning helps a lot since it tends to dry out the air.
Run warm water to a toilet. We do not recommend this. It is a waste of resources as well as
there will be a potential to crack the porcelain.
The temperature required has to be higher than the dew point inside the house.
The more humid it is, the higher the temperature that dew or condensation will form.
Put one fuzzy tank cover on to act as an insulator.
Install a new toilet tank which already has a foam liner.
Install a new 1.6 gpf toilet. These are less likely to sweat as they only use a small part of the water in the tank and usually warm up before the next flush.
Install a dehumidifier in the house.
