We got nice, shiny, low-flow, high-seat, wonderful toilets with our remodel last year. They work like a dream, are comfortable, and, of course, are water-efficient
Until I noticed, when I got home from my business trip, that the one in the master bathroom was leaking, in terms of the water periodically starting up and then stopping, indicating that water was leaking from the tank to the bowl.
Dagnabbit.
Margie finally opened it up. Apparently an internal sticker about not using tank cleaning products had fallen off the tank wall and gotten stuck under the flapper, leading to a leak.
Well, it struck us as funny, at least.

It is funny! Some people would have called a plumber to find it…that wouldn’t have been so funny — except to the plumber.

@Ellie – Well, we would have eyeballed the matter first (which is what Margie eventually did). But, yes, I was ready to consider calling the plumber if there were no obvious causes.

Now you get to congratulate yourself on water-saving twice! Once when you bought a water-saving toilet, and again when you solved this problem y’own selves. Hells yeah.
