rubber flap at the floor of the tank

rubs against the tank wall, that will

Make sure the metal rod is not higher
than the overflow tube, or it may
allow water to flow over.
It's possible other problems may
exist, in which case, you may need
the assistance of a professional.
However, more times than not, low­
cost toilet tank repair kits are at your

hardware dealers. These replace-
