Those brownish stains that only some toilets seem to have, what causes it?

Come on to phuck ...

I mean the brown encrusted deposit that forms underwater.

A combination or urine and faeces particles / solubles settling on the porcelain. Weekly (or as it arises) use of a toilet brush and / or a cleaning agent tends to deal with it.

Faeces will tend to form a scum at the bottom, urine will stain a ring around the water level and both can form a scum above the water level.

Presuming the toilet is kept reasonably clean, but is only used occasionally, it could be that the water supply has a high iron and manganese content and you would need to install a water treatment system.

Based on the other thread by the OP, the problem is letting urine sit and a lack of cleaning.
