Kudos Bill.! You're 3 times faster in your tutorials than the lame American tutorials that drag on and on...simple, concise & effective. I repaired my elderly neighbors leaking toilet and just saved her $150-200 on a service call out!

Thanks Bill. I followed your video and it worked a treat. It helped to take a note of the cistern make (mine was caroma) before heading out to get a new washer. Also, it took a few different types to settle on one that worked.

Thanks Bill! Great demonstration on how to locate the source of the leak. I didn’t even know about the seal in the cistern. I wrongly thought the running water in the bowl could be a washer in the tap that fills the cistern. I know where to start first with my troubleshooting.

After removing the cistern to paint bathroom tiles, then reattaching. The loo ran for a week. Watched your vid and gave it a go. A small leaf was obstructing the connection causing it to run. Such a simple fix, Great video!! Cheers!

I need to seal up a motorcycle tank (temporarily - and not for gas!) and I keep seeing American videos/forums refer to a 'toilet flapper' which I thought was just hilarious. Come to look up what they are and I think they're for chain flush systems which aren't so common anymore here in NZ. But I did find your video through searching that and it's awesome, I really enjoy learning these simple concepts all our fathers & grandfathers probably knew. Bonus is I recognised the Kinetic brand is available at Bunnings so I'll measure up my tank and head on in to look at the 'seating washers'. Thanks!

If anybody wonders why it isn't working - notice that there is a raised section on the inner ring of the washer. This should be facing UP when you put the washer on, as in the ridge faces upward toward the flush buttons. Once I figured this part out it worked perfectly!
