Two of our three toilets recently started running at odd times of the day and night for short periods and then would shut off. I remember our other toilet doing this last year and my husband replaced the flapper and fixed the problem. Today he replaced the flappers on the two noisy toilets and it fixed the problem.
As he was finishing the task, I proceeded to drop in new Clorox cleaning tablets in the tanks. He said there was a sticker inside the toilet tank saying not to use such products. That's when I went to Google to find out more.
I found this article that addresses the problem. After reading it I looked at the packaging for the new flappers and I'm happy to see that they are "chlorine resistant."
I did notice on the two replaced flappers, which were probably the original flappers on the toilets, that there was some obvious bubbling on the rim that was causing the leaking. It must have been from previous chlorine tablets. I'm glad the new flappers are chlorine resistant because I like using the cleaning tablets.
Just thought I'd pass on this information in case anyone else needs it.
