Fixed Leaky Toilet

The upstairs toilet tank was leaking all the time because the flapper was no longer creating a perfect seal. So I bought a new flapper from Home Depot today and installed it. The flapper does not come with a floatation bob, which is necessary for keeping the flapper open while the toilet flushes. But I was able to reuse the existing floatation bob with the new flapper and the toilet no longer leaks. I will have to buy a new floatation bob for the downstairs toilet because when my Dad fixed that one (same problem) I think he did not save the bob.
