Why is bleach destructive to the rubber part of the toilet system and not to the water tank hoses? Chlorine breaks down hose resistance to odor permeation, which is not a factor in fresh water. However, it is also destructive to the rubber parts in fresh water pumps, which is what makes it a bad idea to add a little bleach to each fill. The cumulative effect of small doses is far more destructive over time to rubber than a single annual megadose "shock treatment. Plus, it's a waste of bleach...'cuz any purifying properties evaporate within 24 hours, leaving behind only the corrosive properties.
