How to avoid clogging the toilet tank

New Brilliant flushing tank had a custom "input" to fill with water, so to attach it to the central tube, had to use a flexible hose. This is, if someone suddenly does not know a thin black rubber tube that connects the drain tank to the main water "artery" at home. A month passed. And for some "technical reasons" in the house turned off the hot water. Something common to all disconnected. Yes, just do not think our young guessing that the "pipe break" will bring them such trouble: after turning the water back to the tank was filled more slowly, and then completely stopped. No water, and that's it. While versed in what it had to, sorry for detail, wash the contents of the toilet from a bucket. Call a plumber. After a time he came. Rather zamurzanny. The diagnosis was simple, like a mop: obstruction of flexible hose. Well, who could know that the happy and joyous day when the house include hot water through the pipes (and by "hot" and "cold") merges different crap: for him, "streamed" pieces of rust, green ingrain plaque and some eerie black sludge! And who could imagine that a gentle subtle body flexible connecting hose would break down and clogged? Male, very short-tempered and impulsive young man, earnestly protested occurred. How so? Just put, and that's on you - the obstruction. Fitter said that the work difficult, take time for 2-3 hours, will remove the tank and all screwed over. Asked to pay the proper - 250. In this case, however, took a notebook, something it has recorded and handed Vera a piece of paper. That, they say, my mobile number (!), Call in your free time and call. But first buy a new hose. Here you have zamurzanny plumber Athos. On a mobile phone. Since when? The husband suggested that, apparently, since they are the replacement of the hose began to take 250. The husband went off to the hardware store. And he bought as punishing a mechanic, a hose with a standard tube diameter and 45 centimeters in length, metal sheath, with shiny nuts on the ends. On the road met a neighbor. He heard the sad story, he volunteered to eliminate breakage. And just ten minutes to easily replace the old hose with a new one merely by unscrewing and screwing two nuts. No tank, as it turned out, disassemble, does not need it. Everything was much simpler. After drinking a couple of stopochek, neighbor to wish happiness to young and happy and left. On this, our story could have ended here. But the reader is probably curious to know how all the same to avoid such trouble - no obstruction of flexible hose? Here is what we experienced plumber Nicholas Donchuk: "This problem - blockage hose - does not happen very often, but it happens. The trouble is that you can not manually clean it - because the diameter of the inner ring tube with 8 - 10 mm. So the only way to solve the problem - just replace the old hoses new. And to continue to not deal with this situation, a day to connect the hot water just cover the tight valves on hot and cold pipes. Wait until the merge dirty water. And a couple of hours can safely "connect" to vserayonnomu holiday called "Dali hot water!"
