Personal experiences with the name Kiel: | Edit. My boyfriends name is Kiel pronounced Kyle because it is the name and spelling of a town in Germany that is a twin town to the one we live in Coventry.
A flapper is a rubber mechanism in your toilet tank that is the moving part of the flush valve, sealing water into the tank and allowing water to exit the tank when you flush. Flappers deteriorate over time as a result of in-tank cleaning products and chemicals used by utilities.
Checking the Tank. 1  1. Find the source of the problem. âSlow toiletâ can mean one of two things. 2  2. Lift the tank cover. The tank is the upright portion of the toilet, where you find the flushing handle. 3  3. Check the chain connecting the flushing handle to the flapper. The flapper is a piece of plastic or rubber which sits over the valve at the bottom of the tank. Unless your toilet isnât flushing at all, there should be a chain connecting this to the trip lever, a small arm running from the flushing handle.
