Q: I have a water softening system and it works just fine, but I always have a pink-colored ring in my toilet bowl. How can I stop that?
A:Β That ring is caused by bacteria that are not harmful; many people have the same problem. You can put a very small amount of bleach in the bowl to control the bacteria. But you do want to avoid putting bleach in the toilet tank as it can eat away at the mechanism inside the tank.
