What is a flapper on a toilet and how does it function in the flushing mechanism?
A flapper on a toilet is a rubber or plastic seal that covers the opening at the bottom of the toilet tank. When the toilet is flushed, the flapper lifts up to allow water to flow from the tank into the bowl, causing the toilet to flush. After the flush is complete, the flapper falls back down to seal the opening and prevent water from leaking out of the tank.
How does a flapper valve toilet work to regulate the flow of water in a toilet system?
A flapper valve toilet works by using a rubber flapper to control the flow of water from the tank into the bowl. When the toilet is flushed, the flapper lifts up, allowing water to rush into the bowl. Once the tank is empty, the flapper closes, stopping the flow of water and refilling the tank for the next flush.
Why won't the toilet flapper close properly?
The toilet flapper may not close properly due to wear and tear, misalignment, or a build-up of debris preventing it from sealing tightly.
What is the purpose of a rubber flapper in a toilet and how does it contribute to the flushing mechanism?

Is the chain to the flapper the right length? Too short and holding the flapper up or too long and getting under the flapper.

This means the flapper is leaking by. Do not flush toilet for a while to see if the food coloring shows up in the bowl
