A majolica friend is now in every house or apartment. Its shape and shade may change, but the essence, and therefore the main problems, remain unchanged. Over time, even the most sophisticated toilet models begin to leak. I’m always amazed at how much trouble a small trickle can cause.

In terms of wasted liters of water, that’s a hefty sum. Furthermore, the traces of these stains must be removed. And here’s the problem: dirty water seeps endlessly, which is why it’s almost permanently imprinted into the enamel.

To fix these problems, you first had to get into the tank and deal with the drain valve. The procedure isn’t the most pleasant. But here’s the main problem. Due to poor water quality and the presence of all kinds of foreign particles, the rubber band no longer fits properly and starts to leak.

To improve the situation, I had to climb into the tub with unenviable regularity. Not only did the gum have to be washed of mucus, but the effect of this procedure didn’t last long. This continued until I learned a basic remedy. Indeed, everything brilliant is simple.

The problem is as old as time itself. Therefore, it’s necessary to seek a solution to this situation using proven methods. Anyone who has ever lived in a Soviet communal apartment and visited the bathroom will likely have discovered what they’re talking about there. Well, someone is about to make a real discovery. A counterweight prevents toilet leaks.

Just hang a weight on the valve and solve the problem once and for all. What that will be is up to each individual to decide for themselves. But it really works perfectly. The mechanism is extremely simple. Its weight pulls back the valve, allowing it to close more tightly. Granted, it’s worth addressing a small problem once and eliminating it for a long time.
