Nova Filter - Need for bleach?
Bob/Brad...
We have had our system for over two years and are very pleased with it. A friend had a recent install where you advised them to put bleach tablets in the tank to keep the slime down in the toilet. Can you elaborate on that please? Thanks |

We used to put those "blue pill" things in the tank to disinfect etc. A plumber told us that they would destroy the "workings" in it and never to use them.

With the NOVA system my tank stays clean. Really like the NOVA system.

I prefer sparkling clean toilets, so I don't mind replacing some parts once in a while. (don't get me going on the need for organized closets) |
Ok let's set the record straight, if you had no filter removing the chlorine that would mean all those toilets would be falling apart, due to the fact the water has a high level to begin with.
The Nova filter is so efficient it removes all the chlorine that is correct. Without any chlorine in the tank bacteria & fugi may develop. So we recommend adding a 2000 flush tab in each tank. I live here 4 1/2 years no issue with gaskets or parts in the toilet tank. I have hundreds of customers using the 2000 flushes tabs no reports of any issues. If there was Kohler will send you new set for free. Play it safe pop the tabs in. .PS: chloramine may have an effect on gaskets which is where these myths originate, our drinking water is not disinfected with chloramine |
I agree with Bob....we've had our Nova system for years, love it, but also put bleach tabs in the toilet water tank. It might shorten the life of the flapper, etc, but they are inexpensive and easily replaced.

Kohler's toilet warranty specifically states "Use of in-tank toilet cleaners will void the warranty."

So it's really irrelevant. |

Bleach should never be used as a "maintenance" agent. Very corrosive to metals and unhealthy to breathe.

I used to put those tablets in my tank & within a year there was major corrosion & many things needed to be replaced. In the 3 yrs I have been living here I have not found an issue with any gunk or buildup in my tank. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |
