How to Adjust a Running Toilet🚽 😀

  • Toilet won't stop running? Fix a toilet that won't stop running in just a few seconds! The most common cause is the fill valve being out of adjustment or needing replacement. It could also possibly be the flapper but the fill valve is usually the cause. In this quick video I show you how a fill valve works and how to adjust it. If you think you need a new fill valve always know where your main water shut off is before turning off the water to any fixture just in case the fixture valve fails! Good luck! #shorts #diy #plumbing

    This is all accurate enough, with one important clarification: If the toilet previously operated correctly and suddenly this began occuring, making this adjustment is a temporary fix at best as the fill valve has been compromised. If you're experiencing this, you should also be sure to perform a water pressure test on the home (static and thermal). Its very common for fill valves to exhibit this problem due to excessive pressure. Always verify the root problem, not just the symptom.

      Try raising the float just a little and see if that stops it. If not it may be time for a new fill valve.

    Mine has no screw. It makes no sense. I lifted the thing manually and it doesn’t stop it. I even did this on another toilet that doesn’t keep runnng and lifting it did nothing. It just stops when it’s supposed to. It makes no sense. Even more weird is sometimes the running toilet DOES stop! wtf!

    • @JENSENDIY
      @JENSENDIY  2 місяці тому

      It sounds like you need to replace the fill valve. You could install a Fluidmaster with adjuster. It’s hard to determine without seeing it but if it’s an older toilet l would replace the fill valve, good luck!
