While the sound of running water can be extremely annoying, a leaky fill valve may also cost you quite a bit of money and really rack up the charges on your water bill.
Follow our video, and learn how easy it is to replace a failing fill valve in your toilet tank.

I had a pipe burst over the winter. Once it was fixed my kitchen faucet spray head was totally clogged and had to be replaced. I have an old house and somehow everything got filled with rust silt. Anyway, the plumber said the toilet (it takes 12+ hours to refill once it's flushed) would be the supply line and not its inards. After trying for as long as I could tolerate to remove it, I went to the store and bought a wrench! My fingers are too short to expertly use pliers for something like that! Anyway, a new line didn't work! Now I've got to try to take the fill valve out and see if I can clean it out rather than replace it. They're $25 at Lowe's! Not astronomical, but I could buy a nice steak for that! Lol thanks for the video! I was about to remove the tank!

My 2-year Koehler-original valves (2 toilets) are both already stuck. After flushing and the floater goes to the bottom, the filling valve doesn’t open unless I vigorously jiggle the handle. It’s like the floater isn’t heavy enough or the valve internally is getting stuck closed. We don’t have hard water here, so no significant mineral deposits. Has this happened to anyone?
