We keep the ducks in the bathtub.
We have iron (bacteria) in the water and pee-deposits in the toilet. Clorox hardly touches the iron, seems to harden the urea.
I tried this:
CLR Calcium, Lime & Rust Remover https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00009EFEX
Contains water, lactic and gluconic acids and surfactants.
Warns to rinse toilet within 2 minutes! Can lactic acid really etch potty porcelain?
It did make the pee scum and brown stains (not all iron) scrubbable.
Here Moriatic Acid (about 20% HCl) is sold as toilet cleaner.
Effective.
Hazardous if spilled, though more itching than burning.

Burning zinc-carbon batteries in the fire?
That's nothing, we could be burning our furniture to keep warm this winter!

What happened to the North Sea gas?
Also, slightly political, Qatar has the world's largest gas reserves and a fleet of LNG tankers rendered idle because shale bed fracking made plentiful gas available in the US, the target market...
Nothing prevents Europe from sourcing gas from Qatar.
Alternate sources may also exist.
I wonder what has stopped it from happening....
And Rotterdam is one of the largest oil refining centers in the world...
Oil also yields gas, expensive in normal times, but when supplies are erratic...
Bad planning?
Bean counters not willing to release money?
Moderators, your call.

North Sea gas is basically Methane.
Price is going up, besides other factors, because Governments are greedy and tax everything, including:

Natural gas is mostly methane and ethane, propane and upward are not so much...it differs from field to field.
Pig excrement gas was energy source in the Mad Max films...one had Tina Turner in it...
Safety warning, read before welding galvanised steel. (Present company already know this 😉 )

Looks like Galu has lost track of which room he's in... Comes with age - now what did I come n here for? 😀
Wholesale gas is down in price. Strangely, electricity isn't....
