    Easy to install, ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxjA-hDN2m8_mi0Dg0JD8U6QiArozIAc4I and comfortable. No idea what other people were talking about when they said it was difficult to install or uncomfortable.

    Great explanation, flipped the rubber washer seal over and appeared to fix it, however checked on it the next day and was leaking again so had to replace the washer with new one, so keep in mind if you just flip the washer it may only be good for a very short term temporary fix until you get to the store to get a replacement washer.

    Thank you for this video. Our toilet was leaking into the cistern, and after watching your video I found it was the seal at the bottom. Ours had limescale deposits on it but was otherwise in good order, so after a quick clean it's back in the toilet and working perfectly. Thank you.

  • @ryzenoctavian
    @ryzenoctavian 3 роки тому

    I'm a bit confused about the video and I'm wondering if you could help.
    I have a toilet that has two buttons on it, and today I decided to push both buttons at once. It flushed normally, but after the flush water kept coming out.
    I opened the toilet lid and noticed that the problem/solution was:
    If I pull the float up, the water stops coming out (I don't have the ball mechanism, I have the plunger type that comes up when water fills the tank), but if I lower it, the water comes out. I've also noticed that:
    When lowering the float, I notice that the water bubbles where the pipe goes into the bottom of the tank,
    When I lower the float the water doesn't refill the tank, instead what I believe is that when the float lowers, the tank refills the water, but some sort of seal is broken, so it just comes out.
    I've also noticed this if I attempt to fill the tank myself, the water comes out again before stopping, possibly suggesting there's a leak somewhere above where the water sits.
    Lastly, no matter if the float is up or not, the flush buttons don't work at all.
    Is there any way to fix this?
