Thanks for getting right to it without a 15 minute intro about the first toilet you ever used. Instructions clear, information on point. Very much appreciated
I'm writing here as a female senior citizen, living in the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains. When I got home from work today, I learned that one of my toilets wasn't filling properly. As one who prefers to save time and money by doing things myself, I did some quick reading, watched your video, then headed to the hardware store. It turned out that I knew more about what I needed than did the salesperson. Driving home with the new fill valve, I realized I had forgotten to cook some brown rice yesterday, so I started the rice cooking before heading into the bathroom to fix my toilet. Following your fabulous instructions, I successfully replaced the fill valve AND cleaned up, all in less time than it took the brown rice to cook. Thanks for this clear, informative video that saved me time, money, and frustration, and gave me some self-confidence!
Thank you for comment, I'm similar situation and after reading your comment I was confident and went straight to home Depot and successfully completed! Saved myself$$ Thank you and this guy is awesome!! Love his clear directions and no fluff 😊
Our downstairs toilet hasn’t been working properly and I’ve been dreading dealing with it because I thought I’d end up having to pay for a plumber to come over. I found this video this morning. I bought this part for under $10 at Lowe’s, followed the instructions in this video, and our toilet is fixed. I am grateful! Thank you so much for sharing this!
Thank you. This is how I need directions given. You showed and explained everything very clearly, from shutting off the water, to adjusting the water level. Everything a someone would need to know if they've never done it before!
I agree. I was pleasantly surprised how simple he made it. He took his time explaining, and as you said, showed exactly what to do, without rushing, or over-complicating it. I have never done anything like this before, but I found it very easy to follow. Thanks, proclaimliberty2000.
I love how thorough this was. You don't just need to know how to do something; you also need to know how NOT to do something and what can go wrong. Great video.
4 years after this vid has been posted and totally just saved us a $500 plumber bill!! under $15 and me and my mom did it under 30 minutes! Thank you, SO glad i found this video!!
You have created the clearest, best paced instruction video I have seen in a long time. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills with this 91 year old homeowner.
Fantastic video. I’m a widow, and my husband used to do all these little repairs. I was so afraid to try, but this video made me feel like I can at least do this one. Thank you.
Sir, your video cut out the blah blah blah crap. You said verbally & showed visually how to fix the problem. That’s a skill many RUclipsrs lack. I appreciate it very much. Thank you!
Omfg....THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! My toilet hasn’t been able to be flushed normally in probably close to a year but I was so hesitant to try to fix it bc it took me so frickin long when I replaced the innards years ago. I’ve been having the Fluidmaster (how ironic that was) repair kit sitting in my bathroom for months. So after damn near throwing my back out by filling the tank with buckets of water by hand in order to flush, I decided to search handy dandy RUclips for help. And your video was the first to pop up. I literally had this thing completely done in less than half an hour. YOU ARE A LIFESAVER!!! Without guys like you posting these how to videos for girls such as myself, I’d have no clue how to really repair anything. I’d pledge you my first born son but he’s 16 already so I don’t think you really want him. 😜. Please continue posting videos so the clueless of the world, such as myself, can regain living a normal bathroom life. YOU’RE F**KING AWESOME!!!!
Thank you so much for posting this. I have zero plumbing experience. You just made me look like the man in front of my wife and probably saved me a few hundred dollars paying someone else to do it. My eight year old son assisted me. Now he knows what to do if he runs into a toilet that doesn’t refill. Thank you.
Wow, YOU ARE A GREAT TEACHER! Hi, I’m Marilyn Piggott from FL. 75 next month and I fixed my tolet all by myself with YOUR EXCELLENT VIDEO! Thank you SO SO MUCH, you saved us so much money!
That’s great Marilyn I’m so glad I could help you. There’s nothing like fixing things yourself and saving money. That’s the whole reason I started this channel is because I know so many people are struggling financially.
This was a great tutorial! Easy to follow, great angles, not TOO much info. My boyfriend and I wasted a lot of time and money watching other videos that were over complicating things and telling us we needed tools that we didn't need. Thanks a lot!
I'm really glad it helped you. This is another video that I just did which can help you in the future with toilet noise. ruclips.net/video/qyjjGP8zEkA/видео.html
I wanted to say "Thank you!" to you sir. By watching this video I realized that it was easy enough to take care of this myself. And, it was! We have a tight little space for our toilet and it was a bit difficult to navigate to get the water line and locknut off, but I did it and the rest was pretty easy due in large part to your easy to follow video. Thanks again for taking the time to upload this video and help nearly 5,000 other folks (based on the likes) avoid some extra fees by not calling a plumbing professional. Have a great day!
Still live with my parents I’m 20 , I’ve been waiting for my dad to get someone to fix our toilet cause it was refilling the bowl fast enough & I found your video & fixed the issue myself with your help!
You're a lifesaver. After watching this video, I went straight to Home Depot and bought the same fill valve and replaced the old one. Turned the water back on and the fill valve went into action. Definitely, an empowering moment fixing the toilet since it's such a necessity. Thank you so much for your tutorial
This is exactly what I needed. I narrowed my problem down to the fill valve and tried to clean it out (we have hard water in my area, so I figured there were mineral deposits backing everything up). Cleaning it didn't work and I was hesitant to just replace it until I saw this video. It's a lot easier and cheaper to fix than I imagined.
Thank you very for this video. I saved my 80 dollar with the help of this video. The device had turned a bit and I was able to adjust it after watching your video. Thank you once again
Just wanted to say thank you! I am a single mom and with the help of your video I was able to do this on my own! You explained everything so well and made it easy for me to follow your instructions. This saved me from having to call a plumber and get overcharged. Thanks again!
ProclaimLiberty I don't know if you will read this, but thank you Brother. Your video was informative thorough ,& helpful. I purchased the same Repair valve from Walmart for $9.87 & followed your instructions step by step. Took me 30 min, & my toilet is back to normal. Also thank you for showing the different types of shut off valves. You are a life saver. You made me feel like a real plumber 😅 Thank You
This was a perfect tutorial video, very clearly explained, showed everything needed in concise language. The cost of this repair to me was $7.18 for the exact parts he used and 5-10 minutes of my time and the toilet is operating like new! I can only imagine how much I would have been charged to get a plumber to come in and do this simple repair. Definitely coming back to this channel for anything else I might need. Thank you and God bless you!
I liked this video yesterday but had to come back today and confirm Citric acid worked for me! Thank you so much. I mixed 1 cup of citric acid in a glass of water so that the mixture was already dissolved before adding it to the tank. That worked for me. I also did the same thing in the bowl area (but left it for about 4 hours in the bowl). It got rid of all of the build up with minimal elbow grease. Thank you for the idea! It works
I’ve had problems with our toilet ever since we moved in. Plumbers come in and never open the tank up! This taught me so much as a single mom. Now I can finally take control of these household issues!
RUclips at its best! My toilet stopped filling. Checked RUclips. Found this video. Bought the part. Fixed it myself in 10 minutes. Concise, clear and easy to follow steps!
Thank you so much for demonstrating step by step. I am recently widowed, therefore I am trying to do repairs that my husband would have done. With your help, I succeeded! Very much appreciated!!
Thank you so much. My water meter was replaced and when I first flushed my toilet, I had no idea what the issue was until I watched your video. My toilet was only filling up halfway. The refill tube came loose and needed to be reattached. Thankful it was nothing more serious. Great video.
0:14 Thanks for posting this. That's the cleanest toilet I've ever seen. As far as those hard water stains in the tank go, that's normal. If you're really worried about it, just pour a cup of bleach in there and let it sit for half an hour or so. Obviously, just be sure to flush it through a few times before letting anyone use it. You know, because of the after-splash. You don't want anyone to get bleach burns on their bottoms. 1:05 Anyway, I went to the local hardware store this morning and got that exact same fill valve you showed. I took it home and put it in, no problem. Total cost: $9.98. Actual labor time: 5 minutes. Now I can poop again without having to flush with a bucket.
I don't consider myself very good at fixing things, so when the toilet tank stopped refilling I automatically called the plumber. They gave me an estimate of $300 to fix it. No way was I paying that to replace a $7 part. I picked up the same one in your video from Home Depot and had it replaced in a few minutes. Tank is refilling perfectly now and no more constant running noise. Thanks for the clear, easy instructions!
This was amazing! I’m a single mom and had no idea what I was doing. Your tutorial was so easy to understand. I was able to change mine out with no problem! Thank you so much!
excellent info.... thank you mr youtube teacher guy. i have a masters in engineering, and THIS was one of most clear, and concise explanations of something useful to EVERYONE on this planet. i’m so grateful for people like you, and i don’t say it enough. thank you.

Great video, clear and concise, and thanks so much for not spending 5 minutes just stating that you are going to show us how to fix it,. You did a great job getting right to the steps to actually fix it!
Thank you so very much!! I was able to fix my own toilet valve and flapper because of this video. You were spot on and gave correct instructions from start to finish. Bless you for sharing your knowledge and for helping me to learn how to fix this myself!! You are a great inspiration, and I wish you the very best sir.
Awesome guide to fixing and replacing the flush valve. For people doing this at home by themselves, please note that when I did this, the source supply pipe valve was stuck in the older flush valve which caused the supply pipe to leak as soon as I started the main. Luckily after searching for similar issues online, I found the solution which fixed the leak issue.
Thank you so much for helping me with this! I was very nervous about this project but your instructions were perfect and you made me feel like a close friend. Thanks again.
Thank you!!!!!! I’m a 31 year old woman that doesn’t like to wait around for someone to fix things(let alone PAY) for me. This was very helpful and easy to understand!
I have no idea what I'm doing but I went to Home Depot, bought what you said and followed your instructions. Well my noisy ass toilet that never stopped running is now fixed and operating like a beauty. The tank fills up so quickly and then just beautiful dead silence. One piece of advice for anyone who might encounter the same problem as me. The little gasket thing on the outside of the toilet that holds in the old fill valve was stuck on there with what seemed like glue. After an hour of cursing and destroying my knuckles, I tried chiseling it with a switch blade and I finally broke it. I then ripped the old dill valve out of the toilet and just snapped it. Good luck. Great video. Subscribed. Time to take a big ol' shlt to see how this baby really runs.
This video is exactly what I needed! Thank you for an excellent tutorial! As a single woman who just bought an old house, the is seriously helpful. And I'm glad you made the comment about the iron stains. Mine looks the same and I wasn't sure why or if it was a problem.
This was just what I needed. The replacement went as easy for me as it was in your video. Thank you! I really appreciate the fact that you get right to the point and didnt make this 30 minutes long like so many others do.
Just fixed my toilet for the first time without having to bother my landlord, thank you very much sir! Love how quick and simple to understand you made this video, no jibber jabber very clear step by step walk-through with visuals.
Thank you for much for this! I realize it’s 5 years old already, but I just found it this morning and I was able to go to Menards and get the part and fix this myself with no problem. I’m so happy to have a toilet that flushes properly now!
My toilet wasn’t flushing and this video was very helpful! I bought my fill valve from Home Depot for $9 and it was easy to assemble all thanks to this video. Thumbs up and new subscriber :)
Thank you, Sir! This was as clear and concise a tutorial as I've ever seen. Now I know exactly what to do to fix the problem with my toilet! Relief! :-)
My 10 year old and 7 year old studied your video, went to the hardware store, got the correct valve in the green box, and completed the task. Thank you for posting this video!
Really appreciate the tutorial. This saved me quite a bit of money by doing it myself. Just one correction though, to loosen any connections - going to the left is counter clockwise not clockwise.
Straight to the point video, all thriller no filler. My new full valve came with instructions but I didn’t need them. Followed the video and voila. Toilet fixed. Thanks good sir
Thank you for this exceptionally clear video! I followed it step by step and was able to change my toilet’s filler valve all by myself! My husband was so impressed - he said I looked so confident doing it that he thought I had secretly taken some plumbing classes! The toilet is now filling completely normally, and I fixed it for $14.89. Thank you thank you! I will be sure to subscribe for more awesome tips!
man you're a king. i didn't replace anything, but you explained the mechanisms of how it works and somehow i found a way to manually fix it. thanks man you're the fast. God bless
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!! You have literally saved me over $200 dollars. It took me just under an hour to get things right where they needed to be, but a 30 year old toilet is working almost like new again.
Just followed the instructions given and now the problems are resolved. Took less than an hour--and that includes the drive to Ace Hardware and back. Thanks for making the video!
Bowing down to you. Bowing down , bowing down. Thank you. I woke up this morning to find this issue and found this video. It's exactly what I'm going through so I'm off to go get a new part and hopefully it goes easy
The best teacher in the world, he gave good notes and was very detailed about everything. I'm going to watch all his videos just to see what I can learn him
My husband has gone hunting and wouldn't you know, the toilet tank decides to act up, so I tried your instructions, and they were so exact and on point that I was able to replace the fill valve with your help, I thank you Sir!!
Thank you so much for the clear step by step video and instructions...they worked! My husband and I are not handy but got tired of paying repair people for simple things. I feel very accomplished. The only difference was we needed to use pliers to take off the plastic nut. Other than that I could've done it all myself! God bless you keep making videos.😊
good stuff, thank you. Simple things that I never learned and am just starting now. I appreciate the step-by-step, non-condescending format. Will be replacing mine this coming week.
Thank you sooo much! Simple and easy to follow. Did exactly what you said and it worked. I’m so glad I didn’t have to call a plumber to fix something that took me less than 15 minutes to do and cost less than 7 bucks ($6.95 at Home Depot). Toilet is flushing perfectly now.
👍😊 Good job! That’s the whole reason I started this channel was to help people save money because I know there’s a lot of people out there struggling financially.
another problem might be that one of the two hooks on the rubber seal, that connects to the bottom of the white filling tube, might be unhooked. mine wasnt filling past the rubber flap and it took me embarrassingly long to realise the problem. if thats the case just press down till it hooks. great video, really narrowed down my options!!
thnx for sharing these tips, i learned alot and your video gave me confidence to do this. I appreciate that you explained it with the right amount of helpful info.

Thank you!!!!!! I’m a 31 year old woman that doesn’t like to wait around for someone to fix things(let alone PAY) for me. This was very helpful and easy to understand!
👍😊
Just fixed mine today. Thank you very much for the clear and easy steps
I have no idea what I'm doing but I went to Home Depot, bought what you said and followed your instructions. Well my noisy ass toilet that never stopped running is now fixed and operating like a beauty. The tank fills up so quickly and then just beautiful dead silence.
One piece of advice for anyone who might encounter the same problem as me. The little gasket thing on the outside of the toilet that holds in the old fill valve was stuck on there with what seemed like glue. After an hour of cursing and destroying my knuckles, I tried chiseling it with a switch blade and I finally broke it. I then ripped the old dill valve out of the toilet and just snapped it. Good luck.
Great video. Subscribed. Time to take a big ol' shlt to see how this baby really runs.
This video is exactly what I needed! Thank you for an excellent tutorial! As a single woman who just bought an old house, the is seriously helpful. And I'm glad you made the comment about the iron stains. Mine looks the same and I wasn't sure why or if it was a problem.
Good luck with your new house 🏠
Happy Holidays
This was the best video on the internet to diagnose and fix my toilet!! After years later still gets the job done.
👍😃
So clear and concise! Fixed my toilet in 5 min, thank you for doing what you do 😊
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I used your video a day before a family party and it saved me time, money, and a headache!
👍😊
This was just what I needed. The replacement went as easy for me as it was in your video. Thank you!
I really appreciate the fact that you get right to the point and didnt make this 30 minutes long like so many others do.
Just fixed my toilet for the first time without having to bother my landlord, thank you very much sir! Love how quick and simple to understand you made this video, no jibber jabber very clear step by step walk-through with visuals.

Hello pretty
Thank you for much for this! I realize it’s 5 years old already, but I just found it this morning and I was able to go to Menards and get the part and fix this myself with no problem. I’m so happy to have a toilet that flushes properly now!
Thank you so much this video helped me 👍🏼🙂 . Otherwise it would be difficult to call a plumber at this quarantine time.
My toilet wasn’t flushing and this video was very helpful! I bought my fill valve from Home Depot for $9 and it was easy to assemble all thanks to this video. Thumbs up and new subscriber :)
👍😊
Thank you, Sir! This was as clear and concise a tutorial as I've ever seen. Now I know exactly what to do to fix the problem with my toilet! Relief! :-)
👍😊
My 10 year old and 7 year old studied your video, went to the hardware store, got the correct valve in the green box, and completed the task. Thank you for posting this video!
Thank you so much. I appreciate the detail as I'm not too experienced with this 🤦♀️
Melissa Yetman 👍😊
This was a great video! I know nothing about toilets but he made it very easy to follow the directions. My husband was so proud! 😊
This video was spot on! Thank you so very much. I followed your exact instructions and it was perfect
Your video helped me do this for the first time and in less than 30 min. THANK YOU!!!
👍😃
You saved me the cost I would have incurred had I hired a plumber. Thank you!!
Boudosaved 👍😊
Really appreciate the tutorial. This saved me quite a bit of money by doing it myself. Just one correction though, to loosen any connections - going to the left is counter clockwise not clockwise.
I watched this video. It looks like that this is my problem also and I have to buy a new toilet fill valve.
Straight to the point video, all thriller no filler. My new full valve came with instructions but I didn’t need them. Followed the video and voila. Toilet fixed. Thanks good sir
👍😃
Amazing, been waiting 6+ months for my husband to fix it! And i did it by my self, thankyou!!!
👍😊 Good job!
What a great video. Very informative and concise. Thanks
👍😃
Thank you for this exceptionally clear video! I followed it step by step and was able to change my toilet’s filler valve all by myself! My husband was so impressed - he said I looked so confident doing it that he thought I had secretly taken some plumbing classes! The toilet is now filling completely normally, and I fixed it for $14.89. Thank you thank you! I will be sure to subscribe for more awesome tips!
👍😃
Excellent tutorial...I purchased the same unit and followed his directions...so easy!
You're a life saver!!! This is what youtube is made for!!! Thank you Sir!!!
Just got a property that's seated on 20 acres in Alabama and this saved me quite a bit of money and time. thank you so much
Bonnie Florcosky 👍😊
Thank you. You made a this so easy and saved the day for this single mama. God bless you!
E-Dog 👍😊
I’m a single mom, too! This video was perfect! I’m so proud of myself. ☺️
@@nicoleswitzer2831 👍😊
man you're a king. i didn't replace anything, but you explained the mechanisms of how it works and somehow i found a way to manually fix it. thanks man you're the fast. God bless
Awesome! Single mom here now confident that I can fix my problem becausw of your great straight to the point video! Thanks a million!🤘
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!! You have literally saved me over $200 dollars. It took me just under an hour to get things right where they needed to be, but a 30 year old toilet is working almost like new again.
Just followed the instructions given and now the problems are resolved. Took less than an hour--and that includes the drive to Ace Hardware and back. Thanks for making the video!

Bowing down to you. Bowing down , bowing down. Thank you. I woke up this morning to find this issue and found this video. It's exactly what I'm going through so I'm off to go get a new part and hopefully it goes easy
The best teacher in the world, he gave good notes and was very detailed about everything. I'm going to watch all his videos just to see what I can learn him
My husband has gone hunting and wouldn't you know, the toilet tank decides to act up, so I tried your instructions, and they were so exact and on point that I was able to replace the fill valve with your help, I thank you Sir!!
👍😊
Thank you so much for the clear step by step video and instructions...they worked! My husband and I are not handy but got tired of paying repair people for simple things. I feel very accomplished. The only difference was we needed to use pliers to take off the plastic nut. Other than that I could've done it all myself! God bless you keep making videos.😊
👍😃
Best video I have seen to fix your water problem in the tank
good stuff, thank you.
Simple things that I never learned and am just starting now.
I appreciate the step-by-step, non-condescending format.
Will be replacing mine this coming week.
👍😃
Thank you sooo much! Simple and easy to follow. Did exactly what you said and it worked. I’m so glad I didn’t have to call a plumber to fix something that took me less than 15 minutes to do and cost less than 7 bucks ($6.95 at Home Depot). Toilet is flushing perfectly now.
👍😊 Good job! That’s the whole reason I started this channel was to help people save money because I know there’s a lot of people out there struggling financially.
Thank you. My dad passed away a month ago...so your video helped out a lot. Easy to follow.
So sorry to hear about the passing away of your dad. That’s really hard. I’m glad I could help you. 👍😊
Omg so well explained, you save me time and money
Super helpful…With the help of this video it only took me 10 mins to figure out the problem and fix it. Thank you!
👍😃
Not sure if you’ll see this after this long but just wanted to say thank you! Thank you for this simple, very helpful video. Got it done in minutes! ❤
@@Veronicavcollier 👍😃
another problem might be that one of the two hooks on the rubber seal, that connects to the bottom of the white filling tube, might be unhooked. mine wasnt filling past the rubber flap and it took me embarrassingly long to realise the problem. if thats the case just press down till it hooks. great video, really narrowed down my options!!
Appreciate your step-by-step clear no nonsense instructions on how to replace a fill valve! ❤
thnx for sharing these tips, i learned alot and your video gave me confidence to do this. I appreciate that you explained it with the right amount of helpful info.
👍😃
I had success with my repair when following this clear, easy to understand instruction. Thanks!
