What happens here

Leave the toilet undisturbed for about 10 to 15 minutes without flushing. After the waiting period, lift the toilet seat and carefully inspect the water in the toilet bowl. If you see any of the colored dye in the bowl, it confirms that the flapper or flush valve seal is leaking. If the water in the bowl is still clear, as shown in the video, the flapper is sealing properly.

Goal: Identify a leak

What they say

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 anywhere around it. So we're good hooked up and the last thing we do before we leave is we flush all the blue out of the toilet so the homeowner doesn't freak out and wonder what is going on
