I'm so glad I found this video. Fixed the continuous leaking. Easy fix, thanks to you. I thought I'd need to replace parts.

Perfect, I've been putting off sorting this slow leak for ages because I thought it would be too complicated. Done in 5 minutes, piece of cake thanks to your video, you're a star! 🌟

AWESOME, thank you so much for the 'pimple' trick, I had two pimples on the seal which is up to 11 years old (possibly shorter but that's unknown, although possibly a date stamp on my 260 model '130428' so 2013 would be about right for when the toilet was installed new). This solved the dripping instantly. Gave the 260 flushing unit a good clean too as it was all a bit mungy black. I see replacement seals are now available on ebay, not needed as yet but maybe in the future. This video saved me £££s or at least a complete new assembly at around £50 and so much time. I've got another in the house so am well prepared. Cheers again fella.

I can’t twist it any further feels like it will break

@jwelliottnz Ай бұрын

It doesn't twist out. You need to twist to align the tabs so it will lift free. So pull virtually gently, turn either direction until it pulls free.

Thanks for sharing this. It fixed my immediate problem. I've since replaced it with a new seal (£5 - proper Geberit, not an eBay knock off)) and they are now made out of a different clear silicone material which apparently should fix the problem permanently, so Geberit say.

Thanks for the info, can you send me the link to the Geberit link? I'd like to read over it. Cheers.

@malcolmaranha2400 5 ай бұрын

My Geberit unit has just started leaking after 12 years. Hopefully it pops out as easily as the one in the video. But good information. Thanks.

@stuartmackie9620 5 ай бұрын

Thank you for posting this. Changing the seal was simple (and cheap)and solved the leaking toilet problem. As you described, our seal had a bubble of water stuck between the two layers of the seal. I expected the seal to be a single thickness of silicon, but evidently not. I presume that once any crack forms in the joint between the layers , water gets drawn in over time.

@tiagof857 6 ай бұрын

I swear they make those on purpose with terrible quality so they can sell you the whole mechanism every 5 or so years..

@jigga_247 6 ай бұрын

I think Geberit should put this 'solution' in the manual or at least let installers and plumbers tell new house owners about it. By the way how long did it last after the fix? And is there any scientific explanation as to what causes these water pimples?

@jwelliottnz 6 ай бұрын

My fix still isn't leaking now, years later. My suspicion is that the silicon has a harder skin, when the flush valve slams shut it causes cavitation bubbles that then collapse injecting the small bit of condensing water vapour through the skin, into the seal. That is my untested hypothesis.

@jigga_247 6 ай бұрын

Sounds plausible... will definitely read more about it. Thanks

Mate, you are a legend, in every sense of the word...that's what you are! Seriously you served me $$$ from calling in a plumber who was going to charge me a fortune and maybe even ask me to replace the entire cistern system. For several weeks now I have been trying to troubleshoot the 'hissing' sound in the bedroom toilet. For me the 'leaking' wasn't obvious so I spent time on an Internet goose chase following wrong leads trying to fix the inlet valve to no avail. Luckily I resisted the urge to call in a plumber until I stumbled on your video by chance. It worked like a charm, one big lump and 2 tiny ones... and the hissing is gone... Legend!! ❤🙏

@jtaylor8606 6 ай бұрын

Excellent stuff - I'd found the dimples but thought they were a design feature as mine were equally spaced. Popping the bubbles didn't fix the issue for me, there was still slight leakage, but a replacement washer from ebay is £2.30, so replacing seems like a better idea in anything beyond the very short-term anyway.

@swanagediverdan 6 ай бұрын

Thanks. FYI. You can buy the Geberit gaskets. I found after popping that soaking the bottom of the unit in limescale remover like Kilrock took a load of scale away as well. Cheers. Great vid which saved me £50

Thanks from a fellow NZ’er , I have the same brand toilet installed 10 years ago. Can’t find any info on the brand online except minimal info from Australian plumbing suppliers. I have tried to get the valve assembly out , trying to twist as you did but it won’t release, really scared of breaking it. I have tried and tried but it will not budge. I can twist it a full 360deg with no success.

@jwelliottnz 7 ай бұрын

Understood. It's not intuitive. It's not the twisting, the twisting aligns the tabs so they can release up. Otherwise it just spins. So turn a little with slight vertical lift pressure, doesn't take much. Keep on turning until the tabs align then it will just lift free.

You kind sir have saved me a considerable amount of money 💰 I took your advice and with some upward force it came free, it has a few blisters but decided to go to Bunnings (being an Aussie brand flush system I thought they may have more compatible parts) and for the enormous sum of $4.95 I purchased a new seal , it's installed and leak it does not 😅. I also purchased a second seal for when the other toilet begins to leak

Should one also order a new washer? Is this a temporary fix?

@jwelliottnz 10 ай бұрын

I've not bothered, my punctured washers haven't appeared to have developed further pimples. They've lasted longer. Thus in my non statistically relevant sample size of 3, puncturing the washers improve their performance and are less susceptible to these 'pimples' than new washers.

I really don't know how to thank you for this! I had spent hours cleaning and fitting everything over and over again. I was about to go to the store and get a whole new flushing set, but thanks to the universe I found your video and it was exactly what I needed to do!

@susiealverson1 10 ай бұрын

Brilliant. Thank you so so much. I had a plumber come out who told me that my Kohler toilet doesn’t make sealing rings for their duel flusher mechanisms. So he ordered a whole new part that didn’t fit and then told me I should just replace the toilet with an American Standard because they’re much easier to work on. Lol. After a little research, I found your wonderful video and that’s exactly what was wrong with my sealing ring. Water had been drip, drip dripping for months inside the toilet bowl. Popped the pimples with my needle and all is well with no money spent!!! It doesn’t get any better than that. Plumbing costs are out of sight. They replaced a simple gasket on my other toilet flushing mechanism and charged $100. Maybe my husband will listen to me now when I ask him to watch a few KZbin videos before calling plumbers. Lol.
