No, not that kind. Muriatic acid.....where the heck do you buy it? I tried the Depot and they don't have it. Went online to Lowes and I can see a picture of a jug, but they don't have it in any of the stores around here. Have a "lazy" toilet that needs some treatment to clean out the internals to the jet holes. From what I can find the acid is the trick.
I need me some acid, mannnn...ndr

Hardware store. Any of them should have what you need. I use Roebic K-67 two or three times a year in my shower drain to keep it open. I've seen some pretty harsh acids in the drain cleaner department.

I usually pick it up at Menards but Pete is right, hardware stores or swiming pool suppliers.
Got a pool supply place around? They'll have it for sure.
One bit of advice...stay away from the Brown Acid. I hear its bad.
Heheheh now if you know where that line came from, you are a fellow geezer. Yep, I got called that by one of my students -- jokingly of course, but then I figured I was older than most of their parents, so that kinda stung a little.

Yep, any pool and spa place should have it.
oh, the brown acid isn't "bad" it just "might not be particularly good".

Brick and or cement plants have it. They use it to clean the surfaces in the case of bricks and to etch concrete for painting.
Well, I bought a gallon at a pool supply store. Working better but I think it needs at least another gallon and I need to get a funnel with a larger discharge opening so the volume flows in more quickly to reach the full length of the rim. Nasty stuff too. Might be easier to just buy a new turdlet. I've been needing to yank this one anyway to strip the wallpaper behind it.
