We hear drip of water from inside the toilet and toilet refills every so often. If I push down on the flapper, it stops dripping. I cleaned the flapper and where the flapper rests with vinegar. Any other suggestions aside from replacing the flapper? Thanks, Enrique

Hi Enrique...

Nope... replace the flapper.. no way around it. Try to replace it with an exact replacement if possible (usually found at a plumbing supply store). Otherwise, the universal flappers work... sometimes.

Finally, if you find the flapper replacement doesn't end up mating up to the old flush valve assembly perfectly (still drips) I want you to be prepared to replace the entire flush valve assembly. If you end up doing this, you will want to purchase a fluidmaster complete repair kit and replace the fill valve to the toilet at the same time... ;).

Let us know if you want to discuss more... O.K.?
