I have had a LAVAC head for 8 years, recently the bottom of the bowl has begun to peel and leave a rough stained and surface that can't be cleaned. Before I replace it with another LAVAC I was seeking the lists advice re the cause of the problem and prevention. It is a raw later head.

If replacing the bowl is too expensive or impractical then consider refinishing it. I have had goo success refinishing tubs with epoxy paint. It leaves a surface not unlike the original enamel.
