The toilet flapper opens to allow water to flow from the toilet tank into the bowl when the toilet is flushed. Afterwards, it closes as the toilet tank fills back up. If water is constantly flowing from your toilet tank, chances are your flapper is not functioning properly and will require a replacement.

1. crwdns2955114:02crwdne2955114:0 Shutting off the Water Supply to a Toilet
  Shut off the stop valve underneath the toilet by turning it clockwise until it becomes hand tight.
  
  The appearance of this valve may differ from toilet to toilet, but most operate the same. Some valves require multiple turns to stop the water while others only require a quarter turn.

How universal is the flapper size? Do I need to measure the existing one before buying a replacement?
