Danco FLT231T Black Toilet Tank 🚽 Flapper Replacement – An Optimized Alternative Solution Review

So I replaced the flaps and got oversized flaps only to tug on the chain from time to time to keep the toilet from running all night. I would adjust the chain, shorter, longer, try float flaps to see if it centers, try big flaps. Still leaking. I used to often put those chlorine tablets in the tank which I think prematurely aged the doors and surrounding pipe. So I tried this design, which has an interesting "wired" connection that lets you flush and press to stop flushing if you want. It's a…

I like the concept of eliminating the unreliable flush levers that raise the shock; no chain to get stuck under the shutter, no lever to rust, bend, etc. However, after installing some of them, they all leak; It is enough that you cannot easily notice it. I filled the tank, shut off the water in the tank and the next day checked the water level in the tank and they are all leaking. I think the problem is how it attaches to the overflow pipe.

Here's what I like: + Everything I needed was included in the kit. + The instructions were clear and sufficient. Installing a replacement damper is very easy. :- The handle pops out after installation (just…

Plumbing problems frustrate me to no end. I can't count how many toilet valves and chains I've had to fix in my lifetime. I've always gone with the old fashioned ones and they've never let me down. Until I moved to a new apartment last year. The new house had an old but still flimsy toilet that leaked like it was being paid for. So I did what I always do, I replaced the entire damper assembly and putty in all the spots. In order not to tinker with it later, I immediately swapped the float valve
