Great Video! Saved time and money. When I dismantled the valve, the membrane chamber was full of plastic swarfs and blocking the holes. Don't ask me how they got there...I don't know? Now I have working cistern and happy wife.😊
Amazing video, was much helpful and saved me $ 😊 If I may suggest..... If the valve is being accessed whilst installed in the Cistern; the first step would be to extend the height (i.e. the last tip in your video) this will give one more room to dis-mantle the valve. Once re-assembled, the height can thereafter be adjusted to ones preference. Thanks once again👍
Saved me a whole replacement. Seems like the top flapper where the water comes through there is a small rubber seal that comes loose. About the size of a pea. Let the top run a bit to clean out then reassembled. No more running. Removal is a little violent but the plastic seems to hold up. If I have to do it again more than 2-3x I’ll probably replace
You can do the step with pushing in the peg and twisting the top part anticlockwise first, which let's you remove it and have more space to do the steps before that. I was struggling for a few minutes before I realised I could do that first and not have to fiddle with screwdrivers in the cistern.
You seemed to miss the easiest filterto access and probably most important filter, the filter at the end of the screw base of the filter. Unscrew the inlet hose, leave the unit insitu and reach up into the hole with long nosed pliers, an easy pull straight down and there’s the first filter which catches most of the junk. Scrub it with a toothbrush and it back in, screw on the inlet hose, and this filter is cleaned and finished in about 5 minutes. That will clear up the water flow into the cistern making it nice and quick.
You're kidding right??!! I wonder where this cheap piece of confusing junk was made? Thank you for your patience in trying to demonstrate, but this is ridiculously tedious.

Thanks for the handy tip!
thank you - your clear explanation of whats happening and how to do it really helped me.
Glad I could help
Thanks Richard - helped me fix the mine as well. Taking it apart in-situ was actually not that difficult once I had seen you do it.
Great, having the knowledge is really handy
Really informative. Thank you.
Thanks for the video i had some sediment block the hole and was able to unblock by using your video

FYI These Bestter valves are repackaged and sold in Bunnings as Kinetic Bottom Entry Inlet Valve
