Why do I need to replace my toilet flapper and tank ball?
The culprits are most likely the flapper or the tank ball that may need replacing. When the flapper or tank ball wears out it allows water to seep down into the bowl. As the water in the tank slowly lowers, the fill valve float drops, which activates the fill valve to turn on and fill the tank back up.
Why is there no float ball in toilet tank?

Why are there no flappers in a Flapperless toilet?
As the name implies, flapperless toilets do not have “flappers”. A flapper is a mechanism inside the tank that’s made from rubber.

What happens if you don’t close the Flapper on a toilet?
When the flapper doesn’t tightly reseal against the flush valve, water will continue to flow down into the toilet bowl. Because the water level in the tank never reaches the level necessary to shut off the water supply valve (ballcock), fresh water continues to enter the tank endlessly.
