Why does my toilet keep topping up?

If your toilet keeps refilling at 15-minute intervals, it probably has a leak. In the vast majority of cases, the problem is with the flapper, which is the rubber seal between the tank and the bowl. There’s a more serious possibility, however, and that is that the tank is leaking. If so, you’ll see water on the floor.

What is a toilet flapper?

Created with Sketch. A toilet flapper is the part of your toilet that seals the opening between the tank and the toilet bowl. When the toilet is flushed, a rubber tank ball or flapper lifts out of the way, and water rushes into the bowl. An old, worn tank ball or flapper is prone to leaks and the best way to fix it is to replace it.

How do I know what size toilet flapper I Need?

An easy reference is to look at the size of the flush valve drain opening in the bottom of the tank. If it’s about the size of an orange or baseball, you need a 2 inch seal. If it looks more like the size of a grapefruit or softball, you need a jumbo 3 inch seal. You can also measure the flush valve opening to determine what flapper size you need.
