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
👍😊

Facts
For real
Lol
4 years later and this video still has relevance! Very quick to the point and now my toilet works. Thank you!
👍😃
Thanks to you, I'm a 79 yr old woman and I was able to fix my own toilet tank problem! Clear & concise instructions! I appreciate it!

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!
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.
👍😃
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.
Ain’t that the truth haha! Perfect how to video.
Agreed. This video couldn't have been better. Thank you for the CLEAR directions.
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! 😊
Thanks! This was very helpful AND it sounds like it was narrated you Saul from Breaking Bad.
I completely agree!
Also agree. Gimme Jimmy!
I was thinking flex seal
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.
Don't use a wrench!
its much more thorough than other videos.
great info sir. you always give good info,,ive seen some auto videos.✓✓👍
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!!!!
I love comments like these. Way to go Carolyn!
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.
Excellent tutorial...I purchased the same unit and followed his directions...so easy!
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.

Thank you so much!! My damn apartment complex took too long to fix it. I just did it with your help!! Thank you!!

Thank you so much...I am a 60 yr old woman and never have done anything with plumbing before...it was so easy...took 5 minutes...
connie walsh 👍😊 Good job!
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
Hey, that’s great. I’m so glad I could help you fix it. God bless you!
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!
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!
👍😊
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!
Best video I have seen to fix your water problem in the tank
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.
Amazing how easy this was to do by myself! I bought the same brand that you used and your instructions were perfect step by step! Thank you!
Heather Troutman You’re welcome. Good job! 👍😊
Heather Troutman I’m actually working on another toilet repair video right now 😂
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
👍😃
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.
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.
Saved this old lady’s life! Fixed it myself! Thank u!!!
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.
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!
👍😊
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!
👍😊
Broooo, I didn’t even know you could turn the water off and on, this video saved the day. Thanks brother 🤙👌👌👌
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!
👍😊
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!
Nice job being productive since you're living with your parents anyway👍
You still live with your parents?
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!
Exactly, Liz.
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!
👍😊
I’m gonna do this while my husband is at work and save him some time. Thanks for the clear directions, that’s going to help so much!
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. You made a this so easy and saved the day for this single mama. God bless you!

I’m a single mom, too! This video was perfect! I’m so proud of myself. ☺️

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!!

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!
You’re welcome Dawn glad I could help! 👍😊
I'm buying my fill valve tomorrow and feel totally confident...thank you!!
Just fixed mine today. Thank you very much for the clear and easy steps
I will try to do this, l love how easy you made this look. Thank you very much
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!
So clear and concise! Fixed my toilet in 5 min, thank you for doing what you do 😊
Simply amazing. Thanks for all your efforts in creating these videos
Next empty the Tupperware container with left over spaghetti from 3 days ago that you told your wife, "yeah, we'll eat this tomorrow", into the trash and place it under the fill valve to catch any additional water.
Great video! Thank you!
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
👍😃
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
Thank you so much this video helped me 👍🏼🙂 . Otherwise it would be difficult to call a plumber at this quarantine time.
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 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.😊
👍😃
Thank you so much. I appreciate the detail as I'm not too experienced with this 🤦♀️

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.
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 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! I am a visual person. I purchased the kit brand you recommended and fixing this problem was a breeze!
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!
👍😃
I watched this video. It looks like that this is my problem also and I have to buy a new toilet fill valve.
Thank you from a62 year old maintenance worker at a nursing home
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!!!! Just fixed my toilet watching your video! Appreciate you! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Still here, still using your video yo help fix toilets 4 years later.
Great work, thank you!
Thanks for dumbing down the video and taking us step by step. 👍

I would like to say Thank You! for being a DIY Warrior here on RUclips. Great Video! You have the gift of teaching. Saved me a ton of money! Thanks again😃👏
I appreciate how direct and clear you are. Excellent tutorial, you made me feel confident going forward with this job.
THANK YOU!! I wish all instructional 'how to' videos were this direct,
and easy to follow! I am happy to subscribe to your channel...so fortunate to have found this 😊
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
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!!
This was the best video on the internet to diagnose and fix my toilet!! After years later still gets the job done.
👍😃
Thank you so much for these clear, concise instructions!!! Changed fill valve; I was dreading this task but your instructions made it super easy. In doing this, I discovered that I need to replace tank bolts & gaskets!
Thank you for this great tutorial. Got fed up with husband's procrastination, did it my self, thanks to you.

I’d like to thank you for posting this video.
I was brought up by a very old school father who made me stand beside him for every laborious task ever needed in my house. Back then, it was EXTREMELY annoying. However, later in life it proved to be very helpful. That said.. it made me HATE blue collar work, which influenced me to work on Wall Street, in a white collar setting. But, we are all faced with household breakages, which if you are somewhat of a man, you should be able to handle. After decades of deferring to and paying the blue collar pros, I decided to use my childhood blue collar acumen (haha). Rather than calling a plumber to fix my toilet bowl flushing issues, I took a shot at it on my own. But, what do I know??.. the toilet bowl tank looked like a car engine to me. My toilet water was not refilling… but if I pushed the top of what looked like a long pin with a button on top and the tank would fill. Then I’d flush and it would not refill. I watched your very easy to understand video and bam.. you resolved my problem. The refill clip was indeed attached incorrectly. It was positioned so that the water was going into the tank and not the overfill pipe. I adjusted so that the water was shooting into the overflow pipe, and wallah, it worked perfectly. It took the time it takes to watch your video, and 10 more seconds to repair. You saved me $300 and made me look cool in front of my wife. 😂🎉🎉🎉. Awesome. Thank you very much. You are the man!!!
You’re welcome Thomas. I’m glad I could help you. 😊
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
👍😊 good job. Nothing like fixing things yourself! A plumber probably would’ve charged you over $200 to do that job.
@@proclaimliberty2000 Exactly what I was thinking. Took no less than 10 minutes and cost only $7 to do it myself
@@iihungy 👍😊
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!! I am not the handiest of fellows but I was able to get out toilet filling quickly again. Your instructions were clear and very easy to follow. Thanks again!!

Thank you for this video ! Started just fixing things as they go instead of always calling the maintenance man !
And when the toilet stopped filling, this video literally first time around relaxed my mind on how easy and cheap the fix is ! 🎉
Thanks for posting this! $7 and 30 mins later (including trip to the hardware store) and my toilet flushes on its own! No plumber needed!!
👍😊
Amazing, been waiting 6+ months for my husband to fix it! And i did it by my self, thankyou!!!
👍😊 Good job!
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.

Thank you so much for that video. You made sure to tell me things I didn’t even know I needed to look for that another handyman never told me.
Thank you for this. So thorough and a quick and easy explanation. Fixed the problem in no time. Thank you.
