Perfect simple explanation, First realised I had a problem when water was running down the brickwork from the overflow pipe outside. I had the opposite issue - too high a water level in the toilet tank. Sure enough the water was spilling over into the overflow tube. I adjusted silver nut/screw as recommended. Thanks Garry!

Hi, glad my video was helpful, nice to be able to do these little simple jobs yourself and save a bit of money.

Absolutely brilliant..! Described everything slowly & carefully - I watched several other videos, but just couldn't get it, but I have mended my daughter's toilet all by myself..! Huge thank you!

Thanks for this, makes it so much clearer for me and to anyone who isn’t grateful, get a plumber!

Thanks, my over flow pipe was leaking and I think I've just fixed it by tightening the screws on the arm of the float, saving the cost of a plumber and metered water bill!

Great advice thank you!!

Great vid, I wasted hours not being able to adjust the screw enough to make the water stop. Once I saw you explain about the use of a screw driver on the end of the black pin I sorted it in 5 mins. Should have watched your vid first!!

Hi Thanks for the demo. How do you increase the water pressure on this particular fill valve

@tomjohnson6810 11 ай бұрын

This is very useful thanks. I liked the way you point out the relevant parts when you mention their names and cover the really important stuff like not over tightening on the nuts on the pipework underneath the toilet. Most of the vids on here are for side entry filler systems so not relevant to me. The camerawork could have been in better focus ! However i did like the slower pace so its easier to follow what you are saying. On many other guidance vids the guys talk too fast, or try to crack too many jokes. Then its harder to follow the key points. Unfortunaltey all this was in vain in my particular case as the plastic nut under the toilet was far too tight and far too difficult to reach - due to the toilet bing fitted too close to the side wall. So i'll have to call a plumber and get the whole cistern replaced with a more modern side fed filler pipe. Many thanks anyway for putting this on KZfaq. I did learn some useful stuff !

what did you do apart from talk about the components?

@garylist9 6 жыл бұрын

very nicely explained thanks. i tried to do mine but i think i loosened the nut on the service valve lol. mine doesnt go exactly straight up a kink in the copper allows for a small adjustment alas i have called my plumber in. think it would of been wise to secure the nut on the service valve with a wrench to prevent any movement. oh well live and learn...

it's a learning curve like everything at first, but once you have done a little bit of plumbing and gain a bit off confidence you will be happy to do these little jobs and save a few quid :-)

It will not flow out the cistern if it fills too much! The water will escape through the siphon bottle and into the toilet. That is why there is no visible overflow apparent.

That pin that goes in and out with the water level is making a buzzing sound on my toilet when flushing and seems to get stuck in when I flush, I was wondering if I can just replace the pin and is there a spring inside it that gives it its springness

@650GSF 3 ай бұрын

Hi, no there is no spring inside it, it just has a rubber diaphragm, it is the water pressure that pushes the pin back out, you can take it apart and give it a clan, that might resolve the problem. If not these are very cheap to replace,

How do you take out the black pin

@tomjohnson6810 11 ай бұрын

They are called Cotter pins and they are tricky due to being made of plastic ! You need to pinch the end in with a pair of (pointed end) pliers and then pull !. Its not ideal. Ii wish the makers would use metal pins instead of plastic. Its the same with parts under the engine bonnet on your car. The makers just want to use whatever is chepest for them without thinking of the needs of the end user !

Dunno what plumbers you use that charge £70 for that and to imply that all plumbers rip people off is incorrect.
