That explains why I'm looking at this video. Started using bleach tablets a year ago and now there's steady drops of water going into the bowl. I confirmed this by adding some food coloring to the tank. The color going into the bowl meant I should replace the flapper.
Thanks for sharing this! The food coloring test is a great way to check if the flapper is faulty. Another method is to mark the water level inside the tank with a pencil, turn off the water supply to the tank, and check the level again after 30 minutes. If the water level has dropped below the pencil mark, it's likely that water is leaking past the flapper and into the bowl. I like the visual aspect of the food coloring though ☺ Have you seen Fluidmaster's Flush 'n Sparkle product? I noticed it on their website. It allows for bleach use, without it being in the tank water, by passing bleach water through a tube, down the overflow pipe, and into the bowl.
