Replacement Toilet Tank Inards

October 3rd, 2009

I’d appreciate some advice, please.

My toilet tanks has started leaking slightly, again. I changed all the guts about 3 years ago with parts from Home Depot. I had installed new parts about 3 years before that.

So, I’d like to do it right this time, and use the best parts I can find. Are there repalcement kits that are high quality or are this things designed to be replaced often?

Hard water can shorten the life of rubber parts. If you have a Fluidmaster 400A fill valve, it can be repaired in about 30 seconds with a new rubber seal for about $2. Flappers also get hard and leaky. New flapper…about $5. Not necessary to buy a “complete repair kit”. Too much work. You don’t need to change out the complete flush valve or fill valve….just repair what you have.

If you put any of those “blue” cleaners in your toilet tank, they are extremely harsh on the rubber parts and will shorten the life considerably.
