Thank you! This is exactly the info I was looking for.

You’re welcome! I’m glad that you found the video helpful. 👍😎

[@rhoshikathomas9233]

Ive looked at about 4 different videos and i finally got it!!! Thank so much i just hope it continues to cooperate!

[@HacksbyDad]

Glad to hear it! 👍😎

[@kurtmershon6370]

thank you. Somehow the cheapest replacement parts kit I could find developed a blister on my flapper valve seal. I punctured the blister, and that was it. I don't think flapper valve seal blister was covered in the video, but the video gave me enough to walk through it to the finish. Thanks!

[@HacksbyDad]

A blister? I haven’t heard that before. 👍😎

[@Philip-mq4wp]

[@cesargamarro3468]

Very good info, watched just the first half of the video and I learned what I needed to learn, thanks a lot!

[@HacksbyDad]

Hey… go back and watch the 2nd half! Ha! Just kidding! 😎

[@armandofbls]

Thank you for that video really helped me figure out what was going on…

[@HacksbyDad]

Glad it helped! 👍😎

[@gustavosh.5147]

Wonderful video. I got exactly the same flusher. Your steps are perfect. I replaced the flusher, because every time I flush , it takes for ever to fill and most of the water drops in the seat while filling the tank. I looked for videos and found yours. I’m going to check the valve exactly like you did, I hope it’ll solve the problem. Thank you 🙏

[@HacksbyDad]

You're welcome! I hope you fix all the problems and end up with a perfectly working toilet. 😎

[@Johnett-ij1tv]

Thank you it was the seal

[@wallyj2000]

Thanks for sharing. What do the number dials on the flapper do and what do they mean? Thanks.

@@HacksbyDad OK, thanks so much for your quick reply.

I seem to have a different type of fill valve than what you show here without the adjustment screw, etc. Any suggestions on where to find information on that. Also my tank seems to leak both into the toilet and outside on to the floor. But the bottom surface underneath the fill valve area seems dry

[@HacksbyDad]

Is it a Fillmaster fill valve? The leak outside could be from the tank to bowl connection. See if you can see or feel water dripping or running down the backside of the bowl.

[@LightSpeedDevil]

Can someone explain how the internal mechanism for the fill valve works?

[@HacksbyDad]

I sure can… How Fluidmaster 400 Series Fill Valves Work kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqjcn3turbuXr5o 😎

[@Johnett-ij1tv]

How do you slowly flush the valve the part with the cup over it

[@HacksbyDad]

Slowly open the supply valve. 😎

[@ethanchen8845]

How can I fix my toilet when the fill valve goes down but the toilet doesn't fill back up with water?

[@llk3763]

mine did that - long delay before refill. I turned the fill valve float screw counter clockwise all the way. Now works as should. Keep the water level at least 1/2" below top of overflow pipe.

[@raymondrojas1626]

Thanks for your detailed video! Got the job done.

[@HacksbyDad]

You’re welcome! Glad you found the video helpful. 😎

[@ubiskenasduseikenas]

This video does not help anymore when every toilet has different system now :(
