Greeting,
We just remodeled our bathroom after 13 years. I replaced my toilet that had been working wonderfully for 13 years. NO PROBLEMS no parts replaced AT ALL so I know the water must be pretty chemical free? I replaced it with a Toto MS854114EL which is the 1.28 flush, tall model. I introduced water into the bowl and it shut off about 7/8 inch from the overflow I thought 'great' adjusted perfectly. Then I flushed it several times to check operation. Seemed to work great after only a slight screw adjustment for filling at the proper level. Then I noticed the water level dropping ever so slightly until after some time the water came back on to raise the water level back to the proper level. UGH....seems the brand new 'Red'/ 'pink' flapper is leaking....I pulled it off and noticed that there were couple raised mold marks on the water flush valve where the flapper seats? Could this be the problem with the seating or is that normal?
