Can you scratch a porcelain toilet bowl with a pumice stone? Yes, if you use it incorrectly.
This seems to be a very long thread for something so basic. Toilet rings can occur(edit) anywhere you live regardless of your utility provider.

It only takes a few seconds to get rid of the black ring that forms at the waterline. Simply use Lysol Power Toilet Bown Cleaner. It has Hydrochloric acid.

If there is reason not to use it then please respond.
I do agree that the pumice sticks work very well but just take a little longer. Maybe difficult for folks with arthritis.
