Video: How to Test for Toilet Leaks

SAN FRANCISCO — Daniel Tseyref: Every household has toilets. And as we know, the more you use something, the more it wears and tears and potentially it will have problems. So, I’d like to share with you how to fix a constantly running toilet. It is so easy that even I can do it.

What you want to do is you want to put a dye liquid, or they have tablets they sell at any hardware store. It calls the dye test. It’s – essentially what it is, it’s a food coloring dye. All you need to do roughly approximately once a year, just put few drops into your tank and you will see discoloration in your toilet bowl. When you do see discoloration, that’s when you know, you have a constantly running toilet, which will get your water bill extremely high. All you need to do at your local hardware store, you replace a toilet flapper. And as I mentioned earlier, it is so simple and easy even I can do it.
