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 worn flapper may cause your toilet to come on by itself. A toilet that comes on by itself wastes water and results in higher utility bills. A simple leakage test can confirm that in most cases the culprit is the flapper that sits over the drain at the bottom of the tank.
