How does the flapper work on an Eljer toilet?
Once lifted, the flapper floats until the water in the tank recedes, when the flapper lands back on the opening of the flush valve. These inserts allow you to control the amount of water that flows into the flapper cone while it is open or floating in the water, thus controlling how fast the flapper seals the flush valve opening.
Why is the rubber on my toilet flapper flaking off?
The rubber on an old flapper tends to start flaking after a number of years. This happens naturally because the rubber had sat in water for years (all things break down over time). If you notice the rubber on your flapper is starting to flake off, it might be time for a new one. Don’t worry, they are cheap and the new one will last just as long

How does the flapper work on a Kohler toilet?
Flappers are heavy enough that they do not need ballast to hold them down. They “float” into place as the pressure against them drops, sealing against the flange.

Where does the Kohler toilet tank leak from?
After removing the tank from the bowl and cleaning it up (no easy task because the prior homeowner essentially glued the tank to the bowl with silicone caulk), went about installing this new GP51487 genuine Kohler part and it leaked from the rear when I flushed the toilet. At first I wasn’t sure where it was leaking from, the gasket or the 3 bolts.
