Omg thank you!!! I have put so much work into trying to fix this before i found this video. I had 3 of those metal plates which is wierd. Removed 1 and cleaned them and it works like a charm.

SAVED ME HOURS OF FRUSTRATING WORK!! THANK YOU!!!

I've taken some of those out and let me tell you, they are disgusting. Those folds hold so much waste over time and it's not a pretty smell coming up.. Just saying.. I think anyone can figure out how to install a regular p-trap.. RUclips is a great tool for that😂

Would this work for bath drain is off and need link

I really appreciate your video. thanks to your video I could realize that all my thin metal plates were in the same direction. (by the way, I had 3 so I put one to the board and the two others to the pedal) THANKS A LOT MATE

Worked - appreciate finding this to the point video. Unfortunately you still have to occasionally adjust this . I rate this Jacuzzi toilet as one of the worst ever, given it’s cost.

thanks😄😄

I need help with the wiggling does not release it because I’m using all of my strength and I feel like I’m gonna break something

This worked!!! Thank you so much!. Please note the the button behind the chrome handle is actually to remove the whole cable box to change the chrome handle if it ever needs to be changed. I thought it did more, you can see how is done on the short reels on Around the House DIY.

Thanks for the fix.

Man I tried it and still no go. Any other suggestions? Thanks

Any updates? Clogs? Leaks?

I havr replaced 3 of theae flush bavlves on this same toilet over the past 10 years. And will be once again. For a temporary fix i will do this until.the free replacement part comes in thank you

I tried this fix but no success. A plumber friend happened to be here and looked at it, and said the set screw on the flush handle (inside the tank) was way too tight and holding the valve open.. Loosened it up a turn or two to and no problems for almost 2 weeks now.. Maybe this fix is an option for some of you guys.

Poor design, worst quality

$200-$300 nowadays

Of ALL the Tolets in my life....... I will NEVER again buy anything Jacuzzi makes.... JUNK.... JUNK JUNK! .. AGGRAVATING Jacuzzi Toilet JUNK!!

I have this exact same toilet - it occasionally hangs - I now have something to look for! Thanks for taking the time to post this!

Thank you @aroundthehousediy5124 for this Video. I have my helix since 2017 and I never really understood the toe switch from the beginning. I was only working occasionally and then it stopped like after a year or so. Now I finally got the time to open my helix the first time since I got it and found out: I do not have two metal plates but three, these plates were not back to back but "spooning" inside the clamp and the metal pin that should touch the plates was going rouge inside the helix. Luckily it touched some adhesive inside and kept sticking there preventing any damage that could be done. But did I undestand correctly, it should be two pins back to back?

Yeah but I have a large metal sewer drain!?

My SWP2's issue is the fill valve, I think. When flushing, either up or down, I get 2 seconds of fill, then 3 or 4 seconds of no fill, then another 2 seconds of fill. Repeat until tank is full, and is all kinds of irritating to hear. If I push the fill valve down until the water returns to the full tank level and let go, it's fine... until the next flush.

Yes, I have the same problem with the handle not releasing when the button is pushed. Also my flush valve does not turn like in the video.

Shit leaks like crazy

Could you have installed a universal fluid master kit they sell at Home depot instead of replacing the original and having to do that over again in the future? Seems tedious if this becomes a reoccurring problem.

Hey is there anyway you could help me fix my jacuzzi before my mom gets home much appreciated

Great video, but you left too much in the u-shaped bend which will make it difficult for wastewater to flow and too much will stay in the bend. It should just be a few inches. As you mentioned, the purpose of that u-shaped bend is to keep sewer gas out of your house and also the little flying bugs that live in the sewer. This requires a small amount of water in the bend to fully block that bend, but too much water will impede proper draining. It does fit tight, trimmed properly it does work great. Had a drain on an old laundry tub rust through and the fittings were weird and none of the Home Depot parts would fit. Found Simple Drain on the shelf and it looked too easy and simple, and it was too easy and simple, but it worked. It wasn't the only repair kit I bought, I also bought the Snappy Trap which is more traditional, I got it in case the Simple Drain didn't work. Turns out, I needed a kit with a female connection to the waste pipe, which the Snappy Trap didn't have and I needed a tailpiece extension, which the Simple Drain doesn't have but the Snappy trap does. Will be keeping a close eye on it, but so far so good, through several wash loads it hasn't leaked.

Are these to code?

Thanks works like a charm

I must congratulate the company who sent me replacement parts for free without question from Georgia to Canada. Kudos for the excellent customer support!

My issue is the handle has started sticking. So it needs manually lifted and sometimes jiggled too get it to seal. I'm not sure if fixing it is an option. Replacing it definitely. I'll get a new toilet. This one was here when we bought the house. I would never have bought this brand. It's not a quality issue, it's just looks awful.

Good idea but mine is in already in the optimal position and still hangs up. Wiggling the handle just after a flush is a kludge but I need a fix (for guests, like you said). Do you know of any way to get inside the cable to lubricate it?

Should take about ten minutes before the ridges catch the usual hair, soap grease etc. Stupid idea.

My toilet won't fill. The center flush valve works perfectly. But the fill valve doesn't operate. I can push the activator down and it fills perfectly but it just barely fills by itself. After about an hour or two, the tank is filled. What is wrong with the fill valve (on the left)?

I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH! Even I, a small woman, tried your instructions. They worked like a charm! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

You're a lifesaver! If I didn't find a fix for the one good toilet at my workplace, I would have had an emergency, if you will...like that infamous scene out of Dumb and Dumber.

So we have had this toilet for 8 years, it started shutting off the water while refilling, it seems the little cup the float sits in would fill with water raising the float, then the water would slowly drain from that, water back on and repeated until it reached the actual fill level. We tried CLR in the tank etc, didn't seem to help. Now, it no longer does that, but slowly (so slowly) fills...and then keeps running. It seems like the water that keeps running must be going down some "overflow" drain because it can run all night and not fill above the fill line. Anyway, the flapper seats fine it seems, the initial flush is fine if the tank has had enough time to refill. What parts do you think need to be replaced or cleaned or adjusted? Thank you!

No plumber, worth their weight in gold would ever use this product.

Anyone can do this. Not a plumber, but took a few minutes, and a little common sense. Sorry, I am sure plumbers will not like this. We are taking away some of their business. It helps us, who get charged an arm and a leg for simple things like this. I still call plumbers, when I need more "elbow grease" and tools for other work. Simple Drain is safe and within codes. Bought them at Home Depot.

replaced all the mechanisms but tank wont fill - it did at first but now not a drop of water comes in. can you advise me?

yep, you deserve internet points for this - this is the kind of thing that really helps ordinary people out, finding a non-intuitive fix to something that gives you no clue on what its problem is and saving you a lot of headache and some significant coinage ...

Tried everything I know still having problems with it.

Thanks. This has been driving me mad for a while now.

I thought "Ha! I will just replace the valve!" Not so easy on this toilet as it is an uncommon 3" flush valve. I see one on EBay (without a fill valve) for $97.13, almost the cost of a new toilet. After disassembling the tank guts and discovering a generic replacement parts won't fit, I put it back together with the old parts gave the valve a twist and - viola! - no more sticky fill valve.

You do know they make p-traps that are compression fittings and not glued. So you dont have to worry about those "angles" you can just swing the trap. And it probably takes just as long as your hose to hook up. Also the trap doesn't make an air gap, it's a seal made by water to keep your sewer gases out. I'm a plumber and an army veteran, literally have never seen this in the military or on real jobs. Please for the love of God, dont reccomend this to people. Especially when you have close to no idea what your actually talking about i.e exhaust bell, or exhaust pipe from sink. High quality rubber, cut with scissors.

I work at Home Depot in the plumbing department. I am totally embarrassed to to be standing next to the same bay as this product, I cringe to think I have to sell this. In the video, look at the length of the trap itself. The weight of the water alone may pull the hose out of the trap adapter. To top it off, would never pass any inspection. To me this is a joke product.

What a joke, those ridges, grow so much smelly, gross bacteria. No clogs or leaks, its still absolutely disgusting...

dude u r awesome. it worked! thank u

Thanks for the tip! I would not have figured that out! Much appreciated.
