Is pink in the toilet bowl hard water stains?

This bacteria can also cause pinkish stains in other areas of your bathroom, like around your tub, shower curtains, and faucets. Thankfully, it’s considered to be harmless. However, if you or anyone in your household is immunocompromised, it can cause issues like urinary tract infections. You can clean the pink ring with bleach and a plastic brush. Wear gloves and goggles when using bleach, and always work in a well-ventilated room.</p></div>

Q: Is pink in the toilet bowl hard water stains?

Q: Why is my toilet still leaking after replacing the toilet flapper?

• <div><p>If your toilet is still leaking after replacing the toilet flapper, then you may not have installed the toilet flapper correctly. Double-check that you have placed the flapper over the overflow tube correctly, and check the flapper chain is at the right length. If your toilet is still leaking, then you may have another problem on hand. For example, you may need to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-replace-toilet-wax-ring.htm">replace the toilet wax ring</a> or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/toilet-fill-valve-leaking.htm">replace the toilet fill valve</a> if your toilet is wobbly and leaking from around the base.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a shower valve and a shower cartridge?

• <div><p>While you may hear people using the terms shower valve and cartridge interchangeably, they&rsquo;re two different things. It can get confusing because the shower cartridge is a component inside the shower valve. The cartridge helps manage the temperature by balancing the mix of hot and cold water.</p><p>The signs of a failing valve and cartridge are similar, but if you&rsquo;re having problems with water temperatures, you&rsquo;ll likely need to replace the entire valve.</p></div>

Q: How do replacement costs vary between shower drain styles?

• <div><p>Prices for shower drain styles vary. For example, a linear shower drain costs about<b> $200 or more</b> for the part alone compared to about $15 for a circular shower drain. Also, linear shower drains typically require a shower remodel to use them, so you may pay a few hundred dollars more for labor.

José and his crew were amazing and did such a beautiful job! They revamped flower beds, installed drain lines, built an island bed, and dug a burn pit for us. They worked nonstop and did a wonderful clean-up at the end. We will most definitely use them again!
