Hi all:

No matter how I adjust the chain, my toilet flapper closes too
quickly. I get adequate water for a flush only if I hold the handle
down for 5 to 6 seconds. Any ideas?

Thanks

Ditto, that. I had the same problem. And get a good flapper, not the
Wal-Mart 99 cent special.

Get a new flapper. They are supposed to float for a bit before dropping
in
the hole. I imagine yours is leaking.

You can buy a flapper with a "bucket" on the back (think Fluidmaster makes
one). The bucket has holes in it that allows the water to drain out. The
full bucket holds the flapper open, as the water leaks out the flapper
closes. By selecting the number of open holes (it comes with pegs to close
the holes), you can choose how fast the water drains out and the flapper
closes.

That's the way all out three toilets flush. Push the handle down for
a light flush, and hold the handle down for a large flush. Saves
water.
