Thank you so much, I'm a 66 year old Canadian woman who used to be a superintendent with 2nd hubby 30 odd years ago when everyone used the old fashioned ballcock toilets, I had a guess on how to fix this newer one but was being careful because I'm now a tenant in an apartment building, shortly after I began listening to your video I realized my guess was 100% right.

You saved me $200. My plumber said that I need to change shut off valve and filling valve. You’re a lifesaver

I went out and bought some parts for our toilet that was running. Then I saw your video. I tried that adjustment on my toilet and it worked. I will be taking those parts back, unopened. Thanks!!

Thank you so much for this video. I was able to correct an ongoing toilet issue . Without having to pay an expensive plumber, I am pregnant. I am a mother who works full-time. My husband is always gone due to military. Thank you for helping me save that money. God bless

Thanks so much for helping us save time and money with your free tutorial. I really appreciate your kindness.

The hole under the flap also gets accumulation of water lime residue. If you scrub it and the flapper sits level, it will stop the running toilet.

Thank you so much! I can't believe how easy that fix was. No parts or tools required. I'm glad I found your video because the first video I watched had me taking the toilet apart, so I was happy that I clicked on the next one which was yours and learned all I really needed to do was turn the knob to lower the water line and my problem was solved. Keep being awesome!

Thank you so much for making the video, I couldn’t figure out exactly what was wrong with my commode or why it kept running. I didn’t know that you could adjust that handle. 👍🏻

This fixed my toilet a few days ago! Thank you! I got tired of dealing with maitenance people at my apartment who didn't know how to fix it. For me, it was lowering the thing on the left by turning that screw thing. Thank you!

its currently 3am and I'm watching because my toilet wouldnt stop running. I know enough that I can lift the float cup and it will stop. I tried that, it didnt work. in fact the float cup was already all the way up! I turned off the water for now so I could read up on fixing this whether it is a full fix or temporary. The float and fill valve had been replaced about 4 years ago, which good old Google says 4-5 years is pretty average. I had attempted to fix it then but lacked the proper tools and as luck would have it, something else, more advanced needed attention so we asked the plumber to do both things. I am tempted to ask a professional anyway but the costs are out of reach right now. I am confident I can fix this myself now that I have the tools and plenty of youtube tutorials to assist so long as the problem is the float cup. I am not sure if mine is adjustable but that is something I will experiment with in the daylight hours. Thank you for your video.

Thank you as a woman this helped me fix my problem but when I opened the water ..so much started coming out so fast I got a little bit scared but luckily it stopped. Thank you again

Thank you so much for making this video, and for including instruction on the older toilet style! I was able to fix mine tonight! Thank you!!!

Thanks so much! We just had a new well pump installed and the new water pressure must have been overfilling the tank. So, your first suggested adjustment to lower the water level took care of the problem completely! Very grateful for your help and just subscribed.

Thank you so much for your simple, straightforward video. You helped me better than the last 3 plumbers. I watched a few videos, and yours was really great for me.

So helpful, detailed and filled with extra tips. Thank you!

Great explanation and how to fix, Thank You!!

This definitely helped diagnose the problem! had sporadic running every couple minutes... was driving me insane! went out and bought a 10 dollar flapper and now its silent. Thank you!!

Excellent! Simple! Effective! Thanks!

Thanks, you saved me some money. I fixed it without having to buy any new parts

Thank you!! I was able to get it to stop by turning the thingy. I had no idea that was there! We've been tapping the floater thing for the last month to make it stop lol. Thank you so much 🙏🏼

Thank you for helping me understand how to adjust the water level. I was living with a running toilet for about a month. I am not that handy and this tutorial was a game changer for me. Thanks Again

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I found it to be helpful and very practical. As other folks have said, you helped me save some money. God bless you.

Thank you! I appreciate your video! Thanks for posting it. The fill valve instructions here fixed my running water issue. I had to use a screwdriver to turn the screw. Adjusted it until the water was 3/4" below the top of the hollow tube. I had to flush it to see the water level change. ❤ I'm so thrilled this worked.

Thank you for the video! Just fixed mine right now! Turning the valve anticlockwise helped set the level so no more over running.

Great video, Jensen. The refilling we get on one of our toilets happens about every 20" or so, and lasts for about 10 seconds. Now I know why! The flapper needs replacement. Thanks so much!

thank you so much for taking the time to make this video for people like me another old grandma had an idea, but did not want to break anything. This is a huge relief that with your help was able to do the job correctly no more running toilet. May many blessings come your way, and I will try to pay your kindness forward.

I barely touched the screw and it fixed it! Thank you!

Thank you so much! I’m a single mom & thought I needed to depend on my boys for help- nope- not with your wonderful easy help! 😉

Thank you! My was kind of the second reason. The label you read that's inside the tank that talks about the warranty came off. And when I turned the water off and lifted up the flap how you explained. I was able to see the label got sucked down. Thank you for simply explaining that. And I also adjusted with water level it was right at the brim👍👍👍👍😁😁😁

Thank you! I learned a lot watching this.

Thanks for the valuable information

Thank you so much!! I just fixed my running toilet by watching your video. 🥰

Thank you so much! Your video helped solve the problem.

The first method fixed my issue. Thank you!

2/29/24 Thank you VERRYY MUCH! You videos are short and to the point. But most of all easy for a girl like me. You have me thinking I’m a pro 🤣🤣🤣 turning the valve to stop the hissing did the trick for me.

Thank you, very comprehensive

This was SO helpful ♥️ Thanks a million 🤩

An excellent video, solves my problem, thank you very much.

Very informative video down to the point thank you

Thank you. No more running toilet for me!

Thank you for the video! Just fixed mine right now! :D

That helped me tremendously Thank you!

Thank you. Very helpful. ❤❤

Best explanation! Thanks much saved me $150

Worked perfect, thanks!

Thankyou so much !

Thank you so much, this completely worked for me!!

Thank you for this!

Worked. Thank you!

This video Saved me! I was prepared to drop $150 to get a plumber out. I turned the fill valve screw counter clockwise like he said and just like that; it stopped! Thanks for the tip to have water lever an inch below the flush valve

Wow,,, Thank you. This was very helpful....

Great informative video.

So helpful!

Brilliant video👍

Thanks that worked. Cheers 😀

Great video. My toilet is is: running sporadically after replacing my fill valve. I didn’t realize the flap could be leaking water. I’ll check it out. Thank you for the crash course.

Fixed! Thank you!

Thanks, first solution worked for me.

Thank you! My landlord once took 4 months to replace a screen and 2 weeks to replace an outlet that I use everyday! Now I don't have to call him about the toilet running!

Thank you, that was helpful.

thanks so much for your video it helped me a lot thanks again

Thanks!

Gonna try it.

Thank you!! Fixed it myself :)

Thankyou good job

Thanks man !

Thank you, I managed to diagnose the phantom flush issue after watching this video.

Also another thing to look out for is the fill valve hose. If it's pushed into the flush valve too deep it will cause the water to keep running from the fill valve causing the water level to lower and intermittent running every few minutes or so. I had to replace my fill valve since the flush was so weak it wouldn't flush fully. Replaced it and forgot to keep the hose above where it should be, so keep that in mind when replacing the fill valve because it will cause the water to run. Now it works like a charm. A lot better than before.

Thank you! I fixed it!

Thank you for the video first solution fixed my problem ✅✅✅✅✅

thank you!

Thank you @charliegone1652 for your suggestion with the flush valve being to deep. I brought it back up some and it stopped the problem of continuous water running into the tank! Thanks!

You can get black circular gaskets for the flow valve and replace them, instead of the entire unit. The top of those comes right off if you do a 1/4 turn counterclockwise. Swap the gasket out and done.

I just cleaned the flapper, with a rag, it filled up normally. Have to wait and see if this does the job.mine only came on for 20 seconds once in a while, have to be in the bathroom for a while to see if it worked. Thanks for your help tho, plumbers want 129 bucks to come to your door, can't afford that. I bless u tube, its helped me do a few things myself! Love it!

this helped a lot!!

Genius! lol... I turned the thing and it worked

Counterclockwise spin helped me out, thank you so much! 🙏🏼

Thanks

I got an American standard also doing the same thing. Edgemere model. I think it’s different than the one you got although Bowl looks mighty similar. Isn’t even a year old yet. Just fixed like you showed. I foresee problems down the line though. The float is almost completely submerged before it comes up. Seems like it should be smooth going up. I could be wrong

You were correct, it was the Flush Valve level that needed lowering, so Thank YOU!! But, my plastic screw would only allow me to lower it about 1/4" with a screw driver. I did not want to break the plastic screw by twisting too hard. Any suggestions on lowering it further without breaking the plastic screw assembly??

4:15 Great video NEW SUB Question, is normal for water to periodically leak from that top black mechanism? I time stamped the video where you tapped on it. I gotta brand new unit, but it seems like every now and then some water leaks underneath that circular part up top for a second or 2.

Thanks so much bro. U helped me from getting robbed. Lol

Got it adjusted fill 👍

The best flapper is Fluidmaster PerforMAX Flush Valve Kit Red/Black Rubber at Ace Hardware.

Thanks for info. Confirmed its not the flap and that other part needs to be replaced. Adjusted to the point where the bobber was completely submerged and still wouldnt stop running until i tapped it a bit.

When you say to change the part of adjusting the float doesnt work do yoy mean the whole tube thing or just the top part?

Counterclockwise on the screw was the answer. I tried both ways but was too impatient. Did counter and it was fixed. Total time. Maybe 30 seconds. Thank you

I just replaced all, and still flushing every 20min. What else can be? Thank you for your video!

Thank you, help me fix my grandpa’s toilet

can a sporadically running toilet be from the little leak from the valve turn on and off tap beside the toilet

Do the floppers come in different sizes or are they all standard?

Changing the valve would do the magic? By the look of it flapper looks good but not sure about if it has some valve seal underneath.

The chain that is connected to the flapper has started kinking. The flapper was replaced. Am I doing something wrong during replacement?

Very useful, but I need to change it on the built-in toilet water tank, Much harder! :)

Hi, we've replaced the flucsh valve, and the flapper, felt the seal area, no nicks, cracks, and the toilet will still run, about 3 seconds every 15 to 20 minutes. any other suggestions?
