Thank you so much. I just used your experience on here combined with steps other videos have shown to flush out the fill valve on my Western Pottery toilet. They’re out of replacement fill valves and the replacement rubber seals they have are wrong (just as in your video). Based on your experience I went back and flushed out the fill valve one more time including the cap with the rubber seal still on it. Now it’s back to working and my wife is happy. Thank you sir!
Hey, great video - it's as useful sometimes to watch instructionals where things don't go as planned, as it is to see ones where everything works the first time around. Thanks for this. Cautionary word: may want to edit this video to dither out any street addresses.
I just omitted the rubber diaphragm altogether, cleaned out all the debris (old deteriorated diaphragm that caused the problem in the first place) and it works just fine. I don't know why it's there to begin with. All of the water goes right into the tank anyways.
Thank you for the video. I am finding it impossible to remove the cap as you show at 2:43. What amount of pressure are you using ? Is it downward pressure and then turn ?
@@MaciejPiotrowski thank you for confirming. My cap was stubborn. Had to remove the fill valve assembly from the tank and use a wrench and good amount of pressure to loosen it. It did the job. Thank you for this video and your clarification.

Put some silicon grease on the o-rings to extend the life of it.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO!!!
Great help! Thank you
Great, see you then
Same thing happened to me. I bought mine from Amazon.

Correct. Push down and turn.

You can buy a fluidmaster 400a for $10 and change the entire left side.
i tried to remove the flush valve
it was just rotating either clock wise or anticlockwise not able to
remove the valve
same here, is like super tight I feel I'm gonna break the tower
I was able to take it out with pliers and removing the whole tower from the toilet so I could grip it. However I'm still working in getting it back :(
You should block out your address.
Why couldn't you just use a Fluidmaster fill valve?
Can u
@@Hittman781 Yes, you can. I did it.
Why buy this toilet in the first place?
Because it is under $100 and has lifetime inside part replacement, and works great. That's why.
