Talking to Art Dietermann, I heard his concern that many of the new toilets were coming with inexpensive flappers that deteriorate and go bad in a very short time. He felt that if the manufacturers had spent just a little more on the flapper, replacements would have been needed less often. Leaking flappers are a source of wasted water in a home.
