    Saniplus toilet runs for 1 second every 2 minutes
    The flapper valve is not leaking back into the toilet. The sink is not dripping. I can't figure it out

    Hi Jwk692..

    How do you know the flapper isn't leaking? Double check the flapper to see if water is leaking past it and filling the reservoir/saniplus tank and causing it to short cycle. Here, take some food coloring and drip 10-20 drops of it into the toilet TANK only. Watch the toilet BOWL for 2-4 minutes... if color shows up then the flapper is leaking and will need to be replaced... ;)

    Let me know what you find, OK?
