Condensation on toilet.

I'm arguing against ninja damp, also that several people in this utterly boring thread alone have cited experiences of condensation on cold surfaces here then I'm quite contented that it's a real - and entirely benign - phenomena when conditions are right.

Extensive experimentation complete, results are in.... :D

New build, second floor bathroom, no tanked cold water, no damp problems

Incoming water temp (condensation on top of tap)

Ambient temp 19.4c

OMG COOPERISM R U MAD OR STUPID OR WOT?! NINJA DAMP!

Nice job btw, I checked mine last night it was about the same. No condensation atm though. I can't check humidity, but you are a bit above average there I would imagine.

his humidity is high but not as high as ive seen, his toilet isnt exactly dripping wet..

if his humidity was lower he'd have less or no condensation to report.

read the op again, he has said his is dripping, so if cooper has over 50%, imagine how high the op's is..

he has a problem, dont you think? what he has isnt normal

the op said his was dripping, why do you think that would be.. if anything a lot of people get what cooper has, which still isnt right, being over 50% humidity..

what in your opinion would cause humidity so go so high that is caused the op's cistern to drip.. cooper has over 50% and his isnt dripping wet
 
Why do I think he said it was dripping? Gravity having a synergistic effect on the condensed water droplets, which then fall off the bottom.

I've seen wet patches on the floor from mine when it's been rather acute.

I'm not sure if his is dripping wet or not, moist, slightly damp, wet to the touch.. erm sorry what would cause humidity to be relatively high?

All the stuff mentioned on page 1.

look, i have an online link you can read to argue my case, maybe this will change your mind

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damp_(structural))

A high proportion of damp problems in buildings are caused by condensation, rain penetration or rising damp

They are, yes, but I don't see how this is going to change my mind. It doesn't discount condensation, doesn't discount normal humidity, and it doesn't mentioned toilet cisterns.
 
read humidity

a low or normal level of humidity will hardly have any affect on cisterns, if their is little moisture in the air their wont be much of it clinging to a toilet..

read the op again, he has said his is dripping with condensation, stop discounting this.. to have a toilet dripping with condensation indicated high levels of humidity..

why does he have high humidity ? well some of the causes can be that said in "humidity" in the link ive gave you

anyway to me its pretty clear you're a troll..

Yes, I've read it. It's telling me what I've been telling you for 24hours now.

Here, I'll even quote it;

Wiki/Structural Damp/Humidity said:
Human occupancy adds a significant amount of humidity to the indoor environment. Personal activity as basic as breathing and perspiration add moisture to an indoor space.[Humidity Cooling 1] Cooking and showering raise humidity levels in the indoor environment, which directly affects the structural dampness of a home. Aspects of the home can also increase the humidity of a space. Items such as aquariums, indoor swimming pools, hot tubs, and even indoor plants add to the humidity of an indoor space.[Moisture Dynamics 1] All of these attributes can increase the humidity of a home beyond its recommended thirty to fifty percent.[Moisture Dynamics 1]

Humidity levels in an indoor environment need to be accounted for based upon season and temperature. If humidity levels do not agree with the time of the year and the temperature during seasons, mold infestation and deterioration of the building will occur due to moisture. An acceptable humidity level in indoor spaces ranges from twenty to sixty percent year round.[Air Quality 1] However, levels less than twenty percent in the winter and levels higher than sixty percent in the summer are deemed unacceptable for indoor air quality.[Air Quality 1]

Humidity occurs in indoor environments due to building related causes. Porous walls, rising damp, and leaks in the building are determinants for structural dampness due to elevated humidity levels

Which is then contradicted or caveated by the comments further down which I quoted bolded and underlined above as the writer then introduces the concept of humidity as a natural environmental by product of human/plant occupation and general water sources.

You can't with all honesty sit here and say "humidity occurs in indoor environments due to building related causes", not without the caveat of naturally occurring - and expected - humidity and moisture.
 
im not sitting here and saying humidity doesnt occur due to humans, plants and having a shower..


read the ****ing op man, his is dripping wet..

read my last quote again, it talks about elevated humidity levels..

this is what is causing his to drip wet..


normal humidity levels due to humans and plants and other **** give a normal level most of the time.. the op doesnt have normal levels if his toilet is dripping wet..

he could have other problems which ive pointed out..rising damp, and leaks in the building are determinants for structural dampness
