The food coloring test is still showing up at the bottom of the bowl after about 15 min. Not sure what else to do. I am considering trying the Korky kit that supposedly "repairs" the flapper by using a ring that is siliconed in place under it. I suppose if that doesn't work, I'll have to pull off the tank and replace those parts. I have a slight problem where I can hear my commode running. It does this for about 15 seconds maybe 4-5 times a day. At first I thought the flap needed replacing and did that, but still doing it. To help maybe rule out the flap completely, I placed a weight on top of the new flap, the colored the tank water. After an hour, I could see some color in the bottom of the bowl. I am using a Fluidmaster valve, could this be going bad? Thanks. Perhaps if you quit top-posting, the Toilet Gods would be appeased and stop your toilet from leaking... Amen |
