A leaky toilet isn’t just a nuisance, it can also waste up to 200 gallons of our much-needed water per day! The simplest way to find toilet leaks is by adding a drop of food coloring in the toilet tank. If you see color in your toilet bowl after 5 minutes, you know there is a leak. Some toilets also continue to run long after flushing.
Toilet problems are usually caused by a faulty fill valve or flapper. You can stop leaks by purchasing a toilet repair kit. Kits are found at most home improvement stores or purchased online. They are inexpensive and instructions are easy to follow. Check out this WaterSense Bath Hack for a simple way to replace your faulty toilet flapper.
