White Mold growing in toilet tanks of new home
Hello,
I am a new member and would like to solicit the input of those of you who have experience with these types of issues. I have a newly-built home in South Carolina. We have two baths on the second floor that are not used too often and therefore the toilets are not flushed regularly.
I noticed a strange white material in the bowl of the toilet after flushing it. I removed the tank lid and noticed quite a bit of white mold (?) growing inside. I then looked at every other toilet tank and saw, to some degree, the same condition. (See attached photo)
Do any of you know what causes this? How to get rid of it? By the way, we are on public water, not a well. The county will only test to the meter. I?m trying to find an experienced testing outfit near Hilton Head Island, SC. I emailed the same photo to a few mold testing outfits and nobody had seen anything like this.
Many Thanks!

Charles, I understand, but it is about one thing, and instead of chasing responses and replies back and forth under different topics, keeping all under one topic allows for better information as all are looking at the same information.
That allows the old thinking caps to be put on and tweak options.
So ... back to the original post to continue.
