What happens here

Squeeze a few drops of blue or another dark-colored food coloring into the water in the toilet tank. After adding the dye, you can use a tool like a screwdriver handle or a simple stir stick to gently mix the food coloring into the water until it is uniformly colored. This ensures that any water that leaks into the bowl will be clearly visible.

Goal: Dye the tank water

Tools and materials

  • Screwdriver — Mixing the food coloring in the tank water
  • Food coloring — To dye the water in the tank to make a leak visible

What they say

Hide

Okay, so for the finishing touches we got a little food coloring right here and we are going to test the flush valve and make sure that it's not leaking. So you just drop a couple of drops in there, just take my screwdriver, just mix up the water a little bit, let it set for about 10 minutes, come back and check it. So it's been setting and now we come to the bowl and we look there's no blue going on
