Putting aluminum foil in a toilet tank has no established benefit for preventing leaks, removing mineral deposits, or keeping the bowl clean. Although any submerged object displaces some water, a small foil ball is not a reliable conservation device. It cannot restore a worn flapper or repair damaged components, either.
