Abstract: A method of conserving water in a toilet tank. Firstly, provide a line having a first end and a second end. Secondly, secure the first end of the line to adjacent a peripheral edge of a flapper valve. Attachment can either be made to the flapper valve itself or to the base of the pull chain that extends from the flapper valve to the flush mechanism. Thirdly, secure the second end of the line to a float floating in the toilet tank. Fourthly, use a plurality of direction altering line guides to orient the line such that when the flapper valve is in the open position and the water level falls, the lowering of the float exerts a force upon the line thereby pulling the float into the closed position.
