Washington Monument for kids. Chester Arthur was the 21st American President who served in office from September 19, 1881 to March 4, 1885. One of the important events during his presidency was the dedication of the Washington Monument on February 21, 1885.
The flapper is a round rubber seal that stops water from draining from the tank and into the toilet bowl. When you flush the toilet, the chain pulls the flapper up so fresh water can fill the bowl. Problems with the flapper are among the most common causes of a running toilet.
The source of the clog was a new low-flush toilet. I'm not a fan of these. This particular toilet only sends two quarts of water down the drain if you flip the flush handle. To get the entire 1.6 gallons of water out of the toilet tank, you have to hold down the flush handle for five seconds.
