These videos (and this overall formatting) is absolutely incredible. Cutting the back out of that tank was an awesome idea. I'm a student living in one of those overpriced housing complexes where "everything's included" and my toilet's been running for a little while (about every 5-10 min or so; you can hear the drips leading up to the sudden rush of water). The maintenance guy's a schmuck who doesn't know a socket from a screwdriver, so I repair virtually everything that goes wrong in the apartment myself (besides HVAC work involving anything more than condensate pan clearing and filter swaps). I just don't trust the guy to not make an absolute mess of the place. Anyways, this video helped me not only fix the issue, but it also broke-down the process of how these systems work on a level that, as an engineering student, I found really interesting. Thanks for the quality content. You really know your stuff AND seem to genuinely enjoy teaching people about it! Subbed!

You need to have a conversation with your landlord. As a tenant, you deserve to have repairs made in a timely manner. Don't let landlord attitude keep you from asking for what you need. I am a landlady, and when they call, I'm on it the same day. Getting my rent and keeping my tenants is my priority, plus not relying on a tenant to try to fix what I am supposed to fix, with the result being they could do more damage by not doing it right, or the problem may be bigger than what the tenant thinks it is. Fixes need to be done right, and related issues need to be identified and fixed too.

I am so happy that I found this video. I’m a former soldier from the British military, then when I came out of the military, I went into the corporate world of banking and finance, and then I became a coach. I relocated from last year from Germany and took over my family house in the Caribbean, and both of my toilets were playing up with continuous running water, and the fill valve would not deactivate. I was panicking, thinking that this was going to be horrendously expensive to be repaired, and at worst, I may even need two new toilets. However, I found this video. I watched it and said to myself, “that’s too complicated for me I would never be able to do that”. Two days later, I thought “what could go wrong”? So step-by-step, I followed your instructions and hey presto, I have two perfectly functioning toilets, flushing better than ever. Thank you so much for your guidance, please continue making videos giving such a value and I will make sure I share this on my corporate page.

Your "how to do" videos are the BEST...!! They helped me repair a severely neglected toilet, like 5+ years or more. Mineral build up could be measured in 1/8's and 1/4" thicknesses. I tried vinegar and lime away.... I think I could hear the toilet laughing at me. Those two products were useless.... like using a BB gun on an elephant. Went to local plumbing shop (which is closing after 45 years due to can't get good help) and bought a product called Professional Bowl Buster - 27% Hydrochloric acid (made in USA, San Antonio, TX). 32 oz. container. Poured about 24 oz down overflow tube to make sure main siphon jet at very bottom was fully submerged and let it soak for about 4 hours. Fantastic results with strong flushes now. Came back to your videos again to see how to properly adjust water level in bowl. All is good now...!!! THANK YOU...!

Extremely helpful video. I was able to change my toilet’s parts completely as a beginner. Thank you sir!

Great help! After you showed me how to open the valve on top I was set. I didn’t drain the tank. Turned water off, dropped float, opened top of off valve. Sure enough, filled with grit. I used a compressed air can to blow the grit away. Worked perfect and now my toilet operates as it should! Thank you sir!

I had a squealing noise coming from my fill valve whenever there was a change in pressure and started watching your videos. I watched the one on a running toilet and saw how to check/change the diaphragm. I shut off the valve, released the pressure by pushing down on the float, twisted and removed the diaphragm valve, put it back on, and the squeal is gone. Thanks so much for what you do, you're a life saver.

I had changed out the fill tank valve seal before, but you showed me how to change it even faster. Thank you. To God be the glory.

Thanks Roger, had no idea what all these components were. Your walk through solved it. Debris in the diaphragm valve

Thanks Roger! For someone who has a tenuous relationship with his man card, I found it very easy. Now it stops running after about a minute. I did your suggestions and also tightened up the chain by a couple links.

Thank you Roger. So glad this came up first when trying to figure out what's wrong w my toilet! My 28 yr old son swore the whole assembly had to be changed. I just cleaned out the flush valve, as shown, & now it's fine! Ha! Mom STILL knows best! 😉👍

@robertlanger4228 Жыл бұрын

Perfect, thank you! That is exactly my fill valve, my problem was indeed debris on that washer and the fix a simple cleaning. And that cutaway tank view is what sets your channel apart!

Wow! I came across your video because my toilet was leaking, I'm a widow and try to do things by myself if I can, my brother helps me out a lot but he's busy at work so I went ahead and bought the fill valve, but needed to know how to change it. I tried cleaning it first like you said and believe it or not there was a small black piece of plastic stuck in it. Cleaned it, put it back and it works just like new! Thank you so much for saving me some money,, now I can take the part back to Walmart. Great video.....

I just replaced a second toilet fill valve in another bathroom in my home. I watched your video again as a "refresher" before going to Lowes and buying another replacement. I would venture to guess this video alone has saved me well over $300.00 in plumbing fees in the past year. I last posted a year ago. The only change is that Lowes now charges $7.80 per unit instead of $7.00 so I went ahead and purchased two for the next replacement need. Thank you again for posting these videos and watching out for us "little guys" (and saving us a ton of money in the process). Cheers

I’ve replaced fill valves before, but I never knew you could take it apart and clean it. That’s pretty neat.

Single mom here and as I get my kids ready for bed tonight I hear my toilet running and I cannot get it to stop. I panic of course it’s a Sunday night and how am I going to get this fixed. I hop on KZfaq and find your video. You literally saved the day. Although my toilet is older, I was able to find the blockage near filter causing the issue. Thank you so much!!! You are awesome.

I bought one of those “universal” flappers, because the store didn’t have the brand for my toilet. Well, it helped somewhat but I could still hear the toilet running. So I went to a plumbing supply and bought the flapper made for my toilet. That fixed it 100% quiet.

@Lee B. The universal are worth trying but, they don’t always work... Glad I could help!
