My toilet is 'sweating'. Why? and What do I do about it?

It is condensation due to the fact that the water in the tank is much colder than the air temperature of the room. You can buy a tank insulation kit that will insulate the water in the toilet tank from the warmer air in the room or you can install a mix valve that uses a combination of hot and cold water to fill your toilet tank so that you can adjust the temperature of the water in the tank to roughly the same temperature as the air temp. I'd try the insualtion kit first as the mix valve can be difficult to install if you don't have a hot water supply line near the toilet.

Tell it to calm down and relax! LOL! It's prbably becuase the room is warmer then the water in the bowl. (sweating)

If you want it to stop, there are a couple of alternatives.





Warm up the water in the toilet. If you were to put a mix of hot and cold water, instead of just cold water, into the toilet.





Reduce the humidity in the air by running a de-humidifier.
Reply:Water is condensing on your toilet which is making it "sweat." Get a dehumidifier and it should stop "sweating."
Reply:Water inside is colder than the air outside. Dehumidifyer
Reply:Toilets sweat in the Winter because the cold water in the bowl is colder that the air in the room, thus the condensation. The only thing you can do to prevent this from happening is heat up the water in the bowl, or turn down the thermostat on your furnace, so that the water and the air in the bathroom are the same temperature.
Reply:because the water in the toliet is cold. or your toliet is cold. and your bathroom is warmer than your toliet. and it makes it sweat.
Reply:The cold water inside causes the moisture in the air to condense on the outside. To fix you have a few choices.


You can install a mixer valve which allows a little warm water in. These are adjustable so when the seasons change you don't have to use as much hot water.





You can also install an insulation kit to the inside of the toilet tank to keep the outside of tank from getting as cold. This may or may not work depending on size of toilet tank and ability to get it to fit right.





You could also use a dehumidifier to get excess moisture out of the air.





Good luck!
Reply:All good advice. Before you install a tempering valve, make certian your jurisdiction will allow one. Many will not (I dont know why). This is the best solution. Keep the humidity between 30% - 50%, this should help. Good luck
Reply:The best thing you can do is get a toilet that has an "insulated tank". This tank will not sweat no matter what
