Sorry for the stupid question, but I can't find this anywhere (toilet bowl? toilet tank? sanitary container? radiator?). It's got almost no "footprint" on the Internet--just a picture on Yandex of a radiator of some sort. The context is advertising of a product to get lime deposits off teapots, dishwasters, and other things.

toilet tank
Toilet tank>/b> is fine, Susan, as it is used as an auxiliary device with the toilet bowl. See:

Sorry, forget my reply, as it is for lime deposits off teapots. I would just put an "auxiliary tank". The source is not that accurate, why should the target be?

Note from asker:
| Thanks for the reference. I wonder why it didn't come up in my Yandex search. Would you mind telling me how you found it? |
Discussion
I thought of "sanitary receptacle" -- but I can't figure out what it is! Is it some sort of euphemism?
