We recently purchased a new townhome and we are seeing a build up in both the toilet bowl and the toilet tank. Hoping that someone has seen this before and can point to the source and how to fix it.
We have not moved in yet, so the toilets set for several days without use. After about 5 days, we start to see a gray/clear slime form on the water surface and around the edges. This happens in the bowl and the tank. See two photos below. Note that the blue color in the tank photo is an artifact of the camera, the slime is actually a gray color.
If we let the toilet set for a week or so, the slime turns brown and the builds up on the edges and drops into the bowl. See photo below.
If anyone has any insight into this issue, we appreciate your input.
Ignore the dates on the photos. We went through several cycles of this build up (flushing and cleaning toilets and starting build up again). We shared the best photos.
