Limescale in toilet

[North]

Hi all,
I installed my brand new toilet about 4 years ago and It has the tendency of accumulating limescale at the bottom which looks really horrible. I normally have to clean it by drainageing all water, let it dry completely and soak it with anti-lime scale fluid for a few hours, but it gets almost black again in less than a year. I presume it has to do with the quality of the toilet but is ther esomething I can do to prevent this or an easier way to clean it?
Thanks,
North

Harpic limescale remover, dose once a week, preferably leave overnight, but longer the better. Scrub with loo brush, keeps it clean. Prevention better than cure.

Thanks for the tip. But does this happen because of the poor quality of the toilet? Or for the water?I am considering buying a new one

Lift the lid of the cistern and have a look - is it all black inside? If I was you I'd be on the phone to my local Environmental Health Officer asking for an explanation.

Mmmm I have not look inside for a while. I will do so.
Thanks,
North

The water from the mains Will be wholesome and safe I`d look @ your storage cistern for dead rats . Unless your WC is mains fed

The water in the tank looks fine and clean and is feed by the mains.
I dont know, I never had this problem before. I will keep cleaning it from time to time as this is less hassle than to use harpick every week which I am sure I will forget.
Thanks!
