12:54 AM | after you replace the flapper (buy a korky and cut out the ring in the middle, if your flush valve has ears, use the ring in the middle if it does not), fill up the tank and pour a bottle of red food coloring in the tank and wait fifteen minutes without flushing the commode. If the water in your bowl turns red then you also need to replace the flush valve which involves removing the tank and also replacing the tank to bowl kit. |
