Perhaps so but changing the flapper doesn't solve the issue. I tried it twice and same results. Some have said that TV water has tons of calcuim and it may have caused a buildup so I scoured the tanks rim where the flapper joins. I tried using vaseline on it and the flapper. I tried scouring the flapper nothing stops it. Last thing to do I guess is replace the whole darn thing. strange thing thogh as I have 2 of the same units in my house and the other has never been an issue.
