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.
A constantly running toilet is testing your sanity. THE QUICK FIX. The problem is most likely the flapper valve not sealing properly. First, make sure that nothing--such as a brick to raise the water level or a toilet-bowl cleaner dispenser--is blocking the valve from closing properly.
