I have a toilet bowl that was connected to hard water for a while if I recall correctly. There is an accumulation of hard rust colored coating which does not want to come off. The bed rock around here is red so I assume iron bearing. I checked with the local ACE hardware and they recommended trying a pumice stone stick affair. I have one of those, it didn't touch the deposit. Would something like muriatic acid help? Any suggestions welcome. I don't really want to have to replace the toilet.
