how do you stop condensation dripping from a toilet cistern. It only ever seems to happen on old toilets?

Answer 1

condensation is due to the high water content in the air touching the surface, you need an air extraction/ dehumidifier to stop the problem, it may also be down to having a damp bathroom.

That's the permanent cure rather than bodging things up.

Answer 2

Go to any hardware store and pick up an insulation kit for your toilet.. This is a foam insert that goes around the inside of your toilet tank. The dripping is caused from the cold water in your toilet tank which causes it to condensate and 'sweat' on the outside of your tank.

Any hardware store should be able to find the right product for you if you tell them your toilet is sweating.

Answer 3

Obviously not plastic.
You have very moist air in your house, I suggest that you leave internal doors open to circulate the air, I suspect that you keep closing doors for some reason.
Make sure that your cooker extractor is working OK, and always remember that people give off a lot of moisture.
In dry weather its not a bad idea to ventilate your house by opening windows to replace the stale air, but be sensible about it, you don't want to freeze.
Showering produces a lot of moist air, so if you have an extractor, use it.
Don't do anything to the cistern.

Answer 6

Old cisterns were made of steel. Apart from rusting they conduct heat well. The water inside is cold so it cools the moist air around it, causing condensation.
Either replace it with a ceramic or plastic one or (especially if yours is mot made of steel) insulated as described above.

Answer 7

The tank's bottom valve seal is probably shot. If your toilet is that old, it's probably not the high- efficiency design sold these days. Ours were doing that, then the bases developed cracks that finally reached water, and we had to replace them.
Wee went to Lowe's and got 2 taller, elongated- bowl units for $75 each and had to pay someone to install for $55 apiece. Put them in yourself now and you can save a big chunk of change. We used Americn Standard and are quite satisfied with their performance and durability.

Answer 8

this is a problem that occurs more with older toilets because of the way that the heat is dissipated in the older toilets. Newer toilets are made of different materials and are therefore less likely have condensation problems
