The HydroStop toilet flapper alternative is a radical new approach to sealing toilets after a flush. The HydroStop is engineered to eliminate the most common toilet problems by replacing flimsy rubber flappers with a sturdy tower. Unlike the angled and floating close of a flapper, the HydroStop drops vertically and solidly onto the flush valve opening to create a better seal that eliminates the possibility of leaks. The USEPA estimates that 20% of all toilets leak up to 200 gallons of water a day, mostly because of faulty flappers. While ordinary flappers are connected to the handle with a thin chain that is subject to improper tension tangles and breakage, the HydroStop features a durable stainless steel cable that is stronger, lasts longer and is less likely to break. The HydroStop also features patented S.T.O.P. technology (safe toilet overflow protection) that helps prevent bowl overflows. In the event of a clog, lifting up on the handle immediately drops the HydroStop tower and closes the flush valve so that water does not continue to drain from the tank into the bowl.
