Thank you!! You have saved me from taking a hammer to this toilet! I did pull the tube up the way the guy Nick suggested though and it saved me from the whole needle breaking fiascos that I was sure endure. lol
Worked like a charm. Just go to lowes and get 6" 1-1/4 extension plumbing. Fits right over overflow and right height to make toliet work correct. Loses any water savings and basically dual flush is pointless but at least toliet works
Bought this same damn toilet a few months ago. Like most guys I’m able to instal a toilet and most things with out instructions. I’ve been pulling my hair out and minute away from duct taping this toilet to the rail road tracks near my house while video taping the death and destruction of this horrible crap disposal devise. Every time someone leaves that bathroom, it looks like someone flushed and hand full of black and brown uncapped sharpies down the hole. Or tried to at least. After weeks of research only finding the most obvious of fixes for this, I ran across your video. Awesome. Submit this to glacier bays engineer. Then give him a nice overhand right to the jaw. Good info, good vid! Thanks!
Thanks so much, Joe. Not sure if I want to do all that work. Knowing me, I'd drop that little white pin and never find it. That's after I would bend the needle. Haha. But glad to see that their is a cure. Glacier Bay was cheap, but I didn't realize until I installed 2 of them, that they didn't really flush anything. May just try replacing the entire flush mechanism/float with one that allows more water to be in the tank. Bye the way, you're not supposed to flush Clorox wiped down the toilet. Especially if you got a septic system, man! Thanks again. =)
It had like a collar on it that had to slip up. Then my bottom blow hole was all plugged up. It could suck a small child down it now. Thanks a million.
Great video but you didn't have to do all those steps on the fill valve, that seems to be a fluidmaster valve and it has a plastic lock ring, just turn the water off, pull the ring up and that will allow you tu pull up the valve to the desired height and once you have it just push the lock ring down and your done.
I used needle nose pliers! Im not sure how the guy in video took it out he never showed us lol. But if he did with his hands then he's a badazz becuz that thing is almost impossible too get out
He's got the right idea - more water faster. The Fluidmaster overflow tube's outside diameter is exactly as the same as the J bend on a cheap plastic J bend. But, there is a built-in coupling which mates with the sink tailpiece. Just cut off the couping of the J bend AND about 1 inch of additional pipe. Force the coupling section over the overflow - use multipurpose glue if desired or necessary. Remove the Fluidmaster water supply valve and adjust its height to the max without interfering with the tank top. These two actions will result in about 3 inches of extra water. We did a REAL test flush and everthing went away. I'd upload a photo but that requires new learning and I'm an old plumber.
It"s the most awesome invention designed to replace the mighty lever system so they say. The most arrogant I say. Nice try but it doesn't work for real people like us. Maybe for a pettite skinny anorexic but not bolemic. For them triple flush is needed but for guys like me I had to wait till it gets filled up the second time around (visual proof is available). So thanks for this I've been planning for this for years. Totally agree
Your knowledge and expertise were excellent! However, your camera angles were horrible!!! You described how you were making an adjustment, but we couldn't see the adjustment because your hand was in the way, or the adjustment was out of camera view. I was very disappointed because I think your knowledge base is excellent, but your delivery left much to be desired. You might want to consider having someone assist you or placing your phone on a tripod above the demonstration. This is not a negative comment, but constructive criticism. I promise, if you make the adjustment, your subscribers will be very grateful!

nicknash331 thank you
Same here, this toilet is horribly designed, who wants to wipe out a toilet bowl everyone you use it? I rather have my ugly 1970s toilet back

Maaaan! Thank you for the video! You’re my hero!!!
No problem I just wish I had a better camera I was doing it on my phone
Thank you so much. I hate this stupid toilet and was just gonna rip it out. Im going to the garage to dig through my plumping spare parts.
Mines different. Got the white pin out. But it wont spin up without loosening connection.
It had like a collar on it that had to slip up. Then my bottom blow hole was all plugged up. It could suck a small child down it now. Thanks a million.
Don’t use that narrowed view because we can’t see anything you’re talking about
Great video but you didn't have to do all those steps on the fill valve, that seems to be a fluidmaster valve and it has a plastic lock ring, just turn the water off, pull the ring up and that will allow you tu pull up the valve to the desired height and once you have it just push the lock ring down and your done.
aca tlanjal how?
Exactly what I was thinking lol
How did u get the white pin out??
I used needle nose pliers! Im not sure how the guy in video took it out he never showed us lol. But if he did with his hands then he's a badazz becuz that thing is almost impossible too get out
GREAT VIDEO! THANX 👏👏
Dude this was awesome helped me so much Thank You
Can't see what you're pointing to.. mine runs constantly brand new- I don't know how to fix..:(
What type of float did you use for the added piping to the system...?
Hey my man are you actually dropping a duece during this demo… with all your grunting i cant really tell lol jk good stuff

Your camera is not pointing correctly to see the things you're describing
Can't see anything being pointed to.
Thank you
Never flush wipes down the toilet. Love the idea you came up with though. Without the water those things just don't flush
can't see what you're doing
I did the same thing thank you ...

Hey Dude. Turn your phone side ways so we can see everything..
Get something to hold your camera 😢
So apparently this toilet is a lemon, and stop flushing wipes it's bad for the fish : )

How do you take the white pen out?
