I have never seen a "knotting" problem with any kind. I have had a
problem with a link (usually the top one) going sideways when flushing
and then not letting the ball fully close. That is simple to correct,
just hang a small fishing weight from the link. That ends that
problem.

Cut an irrigation tubing in the length and wrap that around the chain, it
should reduce/prevent
the "knotting" problem. When cutting the tubing in the length, it looks
like a straw.

I sure hope Harry K and the others have solved their
toilet chain and flapper problems since this thread
was originally started 9 years ago.

How do these old posts get onto a newsgroup? I would think they would
be dropped long ago.
