ABSTRACT:
A manually controlled device by which a body of water coloring toilet bowl cleanser can be held in either a lower position in the water of a toilet flush tank or a raised position above the water without moving the tank lid so that the bowl cleanser can be saved when its action is not desired. A leak in the flush valve or loss of water past the overflow pipe can be easily detected by introducing the water coloring toilet bowl cleanser into a clear tank with clear water in the toilet bowl, then not flushing the toilet for several hours thereafter. Since the water in the tank now becomes colored, any appearance of color in the toilet bowl will indicate a leak past the flush valve or the overflow pipe, or both. This out-of-tank control of the position of the toilet bowl cleanser into and out of the tank is accomplished by providing for the free passage of a strong, fine line, like a fishing line, over the rim of a toilet tank when the lid is in place, then attaching to this line a body of water coloring toilet bowl cleanser within the tank and connecting to the end of the line on the exterior of the tank a handle that can be manually operated to move the line up or down and thus move the cleanser into or out of the tank water for as long as desired.
