Abstract
A trapway reseal device for a toilet tank where the toilet tank includes an overflow tube and a water control. The trapway reseal device includes a float slidably supported along the overflow tube to move with the changing level of water in the tank as the tank is flushed and refilled. A reseal hose receives water from the water control and includes a free end coupled to the float. The reseal hose selectively directs water into at least one of the tank in the overflow tube dependent upon the position of the float as determined by the level of water in the tank.
