Kohler's overflow tube inside the canister is the real problem.. www.youtube.com/watch?

NOLAheartbreaker no problem glad this video helped you sometimes you just need to see one thing that you didn't know and it clicks when you see it done and your like oh lol. Thanks for watching and commenting!! 💯

lol!

D Hager thank you for tip I really appreciate it. My house is about 15 yrs old were still young so I’ve learned the hard way that everything breaks at some point lol. I’ll look into a Walter filter to correct the problem because you’re right the water should not be that color. Thank you again and I hope the video was informative. I had to fix so much stuff I thought I’d put out a video to maybe help someone else! 💯💯🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

reynie pascua sorry for the late response but I'm glad if it helped!!

Thanks most of my videos are about shoes but after owning a home and having to learn how to fix everything yourself to save money is a lot of work. I had to watch KZfaq videos on how to replace a toilet how fix hot/cold cartridge in the showe my heater went and ac went out I had to replace a moherboard in my unit they wanted to charge me a thousand to do that I just looked up the part for 250-300 and just unplugged all the cables and moved it over to the new board saved myself 700 bucks. My heater went out it wouldn't stay ignited so I just took a napkin to the flame sensor wiped it down a little and got heat again. I never realized how much stuff could go wrong owning a home lol. I even had to replace my ac unit condenser tray that the condensation of water drips into because it was rusted and had holes in so water was l leaking through my roof lol. I had to watch KZfaq videos because they changed the how new trays look like so I had to saw off extra pvp pipes to make it and had to buy glue that seals the the pvp pipe so it wouldn't leak. My house isn't even that old either lol. Glad the vid helpted! thanks for watching and commenting 💯💯🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👊🏻😎

Oh, you're not kidding. We all can benefit by helping each other out. A house is a constant source of " fix it" chores .

I’m fairly certain that the rubber rots much faster in the presence of toilet tank cleaners. Ours did fine for 5+ years until we started using the drop-ins. Less than 1 year later, and ours rotted exactly like this.

How bout made in CHIIIINNNAA

+vu quan 😂😂😂 ikr I was just doing a diy video in the meantime while I'm waiting for shoes to drop 😂💯 thanks for watching and commenting I know everyone is prob like what in the world lol 💯💯🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👊🏻😎

It's not defective. My first seal lasted 9 years and 7 months. We installed the toilet when we bought the house 9 years and 9 months ago and I am replacing it for the first time today. If you use chemical cleaners in the tank to automatically clean your bowl, that will cause premature deterioration of the seal also. Mineral buildup will prevent a seal also if your water is particularly hard. I see signs of sediment or mineral buildup in the bottom of this tank. My tank has none of that after 10 years. Those things have nothing to do w/ quality of the product. No... I don't work for Kohler. Thanks for the guidance. It worked first time.

I can verify that we used our toilet for 5+ years without tank cleaner w/o problem, but within a year of using drop-in tank cleaners, it rotted out.

I had to go under the cylinder to do my twisting. A top twist didn’t work and threatened to break the center post!

Joy Barker sorry about the long video I was kind of recording myself and I don’t edit it’s just one straight review of what I did. It really bothered me that I had to replace the ring only after having it for like 2 years but since I replaced the new one I haven’t had any issues. Thanks for watching!

Marilyn I apologize I’ve never had that issue you might want to ask someone at Home Depot you might need to replace the entire canister valve inside or it might have something to do with your water line. Thanks for watching

I’m not certain it really kind of depends on if it’s a canister like the model I have or something newer but the gasket seal for this canister is cheap and there are probably even cheaper ones on Amazon now. I just picked up one from my local Home Depot. There’s really not many gasket sizes if you were to search for your model it would tell you if it’s the correct gasket. Also sorry to everyone that’s watched this I uploaded this like 5 years ago and I’m not a professional KZfaqr I was recording this myself using my phone. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it and I hope it helped.

@@TheSneakerCraze Thanks! I found the exact one on Amazon. It looks like Kohler had two sizes but changed the color when they changed size. All is working great now. warning: I did manage to break the locking mechanism on the canister but that also was only $8 on amazon (arrivng tomorrow). Plastic in water over time just gets crusty and easily breakable. Now if I can figure out how to fix my new Toto which is also running incessantly.

Miteki B lol um yeah I was pretty surprised myself when it started to leak like that. I had only installed it for around that long. I can’t remember when I made this video but I haven’t had any issues since with the new seal. I had to learn how to fix pretty much everything in my house either through KZfaq vids or online instructions lol. Thanks for watching and commenting. Glad to know I’m not the only one 💯

Reporting here that my original pink seal lasted just over 10 years. It was badly deteriorated. If it had begun leaking earlier, I did not detect it. Water minerals make a difference. This vid made the replacement easy. Thank you.

Thanks for the reply i may need to look into that. we don't use well water we have a mud department for water. the water that comes out of the showers and sinks is not brown brownish like that but i'll look into the house water filter if we have one. i've had to do a lot of maintenance repairs myself like fixing my heating unit replacing the hot/cold water cartridge in the stand up shower. the ac condenser water catch pan rusted had to replace that with a new one and i had to figure all these things out either by watching youtube vids or trial and error. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

Do you use drop-in toilet cleaners? This may be the problem on both fronts.

I replaced EVERY gasket and seal and it still leaked from the tank into the bowl. I finally fixed it by setting it to the curb and installing an American Standard toilet.

Oh really? I didn’t know that! Come to think of it I think I did drop a tablet in there a few weeks after I installed the new toilet. That must have caused the seal to turn to mush like that. I don’t use the tablets anymore but thanks for that information!! Thanks for watching and commenting!! Now I know something new myself

TheSneakerCraze I installed two brand new to kholers like yours. Five years ago no problems. I dont use chlorine....I suspect the city water use lots of chlorine. Good info Thx

Levi Strauss oh wow yeah I stopped using chlorine tabs I just clean toilet manually with the blue Lysol gel now. It really shocked me how it had deteriorated like that. I just made the video to try and help because over the years I’ve had to learn how to fix everything in my house lol. The American dream to own a house until everything starts breaking on you lol. Thanks again for the info and watching 💯💯🙏🏻🙏🏻👊🏻😎

Wow!! This video is over-explained and making me restless!! To damn long for something so simple.

Hey no problem I’m glad I was able to help although I know it’s was a bit long I prob should have made it a bit shorter but I just wanted to be explain and be as detailed as possible lol. Thanks for watching I appreciate it! 💯👊🏻

@@TheSneakerCraze No worries! You saved me $$ and I fast forwarded to the part that I needed. Thank you!
