Hairline crack on toilet bowl..
I noticed a 3 to 4" long crack in the bowl of one of our toilets today - . We do not remember hitting it with anything so I have no idea how it got there.. It does not appear to be leaking at this time (ie no water on teh floor)
I am concerned about it breaking and causing a HUGE water problem.. Would you agree that it needs to be replaced asap?
thanks

Re: Hairline crack on toilet bowl..
Do you know that it is actually a crack vs. a manufacturing flaw that you just hadn't noticed before? But, yes, if there's a crack, I'd be out shopping for another toilet.

Re: Hairline crack on toilet bowl..
I met a guy about 2 years ago that had the worst looking scar on his arm. He said he was removing a toilet and had his arms around it when it broke. It cut him terribly, and caused all kinds of damage.
Please be careful.

We had a bowl with a crack on the outside. No idea how long it had been there. If it's a crack on the outside only it won't leak.

Re: Hairline crack on toilet bowl..
OK you wise ppl have spoken.. water is turned off until i get back home (im out of town until wed) and can get a new one installed.. sorta mixed blessing to be honest we regretted not putting in a handicap/comfort heighth when we built, so now we can correct that..
thanks
