    My issue was the fill valve. I saw 5 videos on how to replace it but this was the first showing how to take it apart and clean it. Thank you!

    Thank you so much for posting this video. I have very little plumbing knowledge and was nearing my wit’s end trying to fix my toilet. After watching this video, I was able to quickly and easily diagnose the issue (a faulty fill valve) and get it fixed. Much appreciated!

    Thanks Roger. My canister seems to close immediately after releasing the handle and I get a low volume flush. Is there an adjustment I am missing or does the unit need to be replaced?

    Hey Roger (or anyone in the community with Water Heater experience), I would love your personal opinion. I just noticed that my Gas Water Heater has a small leak (for now). The two options I was deciding between, are to replace it with another Gas Water Heater or maybe trying a Heat pump version. Do you have a preference?? I looked but haven't seen you do a comparison yet. I'm early in the trades and do have 1 year experience in HVAC, and with time I'm sure ill be able to work on it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. as-well as anyone else.
    About me, I have a 3bed 2 bath, its just my Fiance and myself right now w/ some visitors who stay over throughout the year. My WH now is a 40 gal 38k btu. I do live in CA, so there are rebates for the heat pumps.

    THe black hose in mine keeps popping out, is that normal?

  • @dianafedosoff9618
    @dianafedosoff9618 3 місяці тому

    I have the same exact one but the yellow circular piece attached to the hose broke off and flies out of the canister part when flushed and then keeps running. Do I have to replace the whole canister part?

  • @HoraceGorman

    The base for the canister is my Kohler came out of the toilet. That is, when turning the canister instead of the upper portion releasing, the lower portion including the thick rubber ring came out. It appears that to replace that lower part, one has to press very hard while turning so that the tangs fit under the rubber ring holding against the bottom of the tank. Is that correct?

    Very informative Roger.
    I have this Kohler toilet that needs a flapper . It has a pull mechanism through lid.
    I can't imagine how to get the lid off let alone adjusting the chain!

    You don't describe how to adjust the fill valve. Turning it right or left, what each does. Also the color is significant. Yellow is a slow fill, red is a fast fill and I have no idea what black is. Sick of this Kohler crap.
