    Sorry about the dirty toilet, I just do the maintenance in the apartments. The cleaners take care of cleaning the toilets. But I did this video to help poeple with slow running toilets.

    OMG after looking at 8 different videos, this man nailed it! When I looked inside my tank, the hose was simply disconnected. Works perfect now. Thank you for saving me money

    Thank u so much.
    U saved me probably thousands for a 3 second fix.
    I searched forever for a fix.
    Everything i found was BS that even i knew wasnt going to fix this kinda problem. They just wanted u to use there plumper.

    Thank you for sharing. My hose was bent and not allowing water to flow. Corrected the bent hose and flushed as should. Thank you once again for sharing and God bless you!

    Thank you for sharing this video!!! I appreciate it so much. Great instructions. I feel confident that I can now fix my weak flushing toilet!! God bless you!

    Good job, I would have changed that supply line, flapper and toilet handle as well. Also, if you clean the water flow holes under the rim inside the toilet that will help you get better flow for a stronger flush.

    3:06 to prevent this water goes to the floor you can use a Shop-Vac and suck all the water it's in the tank and the bowl

    After trying all these fixes this simple solution worked 100% It is most likely your chain is too short if that doesn't fix it then remove flapper and see if there adjustments on it, if so adjust to highest setting. Problem solved

  • @vicdesanti5264
    @vicdesanti5264 3 года назад +5

    So that's what it's for! I'll try to follow your instructions, and if it works, you're one great guy!

    Awesome easy diy. I replaced the entire unit like you did, and off course the fill valve had alot more pressure once i replaced it. The flapper definitely closes later than before, but its still right on the edge between an actual full flush and right before the toilet actually clears. And the new valve has an adjustable flow for the valve going into the flapper tube, and its at the max. The water is like rushing in, but still right on the edge of a full flush. Perhaps the flapper needs replacement?

  • @stevemenegaz9824

    IF the fill valve and drain assembly are sold together, the flexible fill hose MUST CONNECT to the tap on the flush drain, rather than just go in the drain pipe. Operating the flush can knock the fill hose loose, which will give problems similar to this video, but very easy to fix.

    • @MaintenanceManNarratives
      @MaintenanceManNarratives  4 года назад +1

      Correct!! Thanks for commenting!!

    • @stevemenegaz9824
      @stevemenegaz9824 4 года назад +1

      The drain assembly I mentioned was similar to the Kohler Power Piston.
      If your cutoff valve is old, it may be easier to wire the float in place instead of trying to turn the valve.

    What if the toilet keeps running on its own, it refills after a , like it’s leaking.what is the solution?

  • @walterbyrd8380
    @walterbyrd8380 2 года назад +1

    What does the "toilet fill valve" do? Just fill the tank? If the old fill valve doesn't have enough pressure, does that just mean that the tank if filling up more slowly?

  • @builtdifferentty
    @builtdifferentty Год назад +1

    Would this happen too if my toilet raises water and flushes super slow and weak?

  • @thewedge8823
    @thewedge8823 4 года назад +4

    Honestly, I couldn't tell any difference. the flush still looked very weak and slow at the end. could it possibly be the length of the chain is too long, and it doesn't open the drain clog long enough? I'm having the same problem, but this video didn't look very convincing.

    • @SlayerWhoSlays
      @SlayerWhoSlays 4 года назад +1

      If the chain is to long it possibly may be only opening a little because the chain is not being pulled enough, if that’s your case tighten your chain. A little.

    In my opinion it is still weak flush, you need to clear those rim jet, with wire poke them, tank need more water ht. needed.

      That's kind of the concept.. but it's called a jet. The water that is pushed creates a pull draft. Thanks for commenting!
