People find hissing toilets annoying, which can be especially troublesome if the toilet is shared with a neighbour. The toilet may also be wasting water, depending on what component is hissing. To maintain the water in the tank for the subsequent flush, the flapper of the toilet tank must be completely closed after each flush. The flapper’s top is joined to a chain. The extension arm of the toilet handle is connected to the other end of the chain.
When the chain gets in the way of the flapper closing or when it is so long that an extra chain gets tangled under the flapper, a toilet will hiss. A toilet hissing sound is produced when a chain is too short because it keeps the flapper slightly elevated and allows water to escape the tank.
The toilet flush chain can be twisted up and cut shorter, or it might have been placed in the wrong size. The chain can be altered in this situation. The chain can be replaced if it is broken. A new toilet chain will set you back $2 to $3.
Follow the below steps to repair a toilet flush chain :
1. The toilet tank cover should be removed and set aside,
2. Look at the chain with a flashlight. The chain shouldn’t be stuck on other toilet parts, twisted, or bunched up.
3. While the chain is still in place, straighten it if it is twisted.
4. Turn off the toilet’s water supply if straightening the chain doesn’t resolve the issue. To drain the water from the tank, flush the toilet.
5. Resize the toilet chain to the proper length, ensuring that It is sufficiently long for the flapper to close and not too long to cause it to twist or become entrapped beneath the flapper.
6. Old, rusty, or damaged chains are more likely to twist than new, smooth chains. Replace the chain totally if it is worn out or damaged.
