I had exactly this problem - this video was so much easier to understand and the images more clear than any others I viewed for the same problem. £2.40 (which wasn’t the cheapest!) and 20 mins later, all done. Fab, thank you :)

[@daveygee1013]

So happy I viewed your video, got a washer and it worked a treat……..saved me from changing an inlet valve I never needed to change.

[@TheMac01mac]

Thank you for this video helped me to fix my toilet. Part is called- SIAMP DIAPHRAGM WASHER

[@jencave3331]

Managed to get this part for under £5 and fix my toilet in 5 mins! Thanks so much for the tutorial. Saved me a hefty call out fee 🥰 x

[@michaelgaskell771]

Clear explanation of both disassembly and reassembly. Followed it exactly and problem was sorted. Thank you.

[@tinywicket]

Thank you - I'm still not entirely sure why a small split in the diaphragm causes so much trouble, but I followed your instructions and sorted out the problem - just £2.50 and I now feel very clever!

[@IONHowTo]

Nice!

[@damonamess1476]

Thanks for this information. Saved me a fortune in plumbers fees. £5 and five minute job.Quality info

Fantastic instructions, only cost us £5 for the part and the toilet is good as new! Thank you 😊

AMAZING video , we actually managed to fix this problem and got a great sense of satisfaction. The part cost £5 .. and toilet is fixed , no big plumbers fee … deeeelighted

First video that came up from my search and I didn't need any more! Great video, thank you so much! Greetings from South Africa!

[@IONHowTo]

Thanks for watching!

[@jonniejam-shovel6405]

I've just changed the diaphragm in my own toilet, it was very easy and straightforward. Although I would urge caution, I have the same toilet cistern fitted like the one in the film. This particular type can develop problems because of high water pressure, also never place toilet loo cleaning blocks in the cistern because, when they degrade they will block the damper mechanism. This will cause the toilet to continue flushing, because the large rubber seal ring on the bottom of the damper, cannot make a good seal. There are many good films on u tube like this one, that will show you how easy it is to remove the damper, and inspect the rubber seal. Thanks for sharing.👍 your film.👍 Kind regards.

[@62gwj]

Brilliant video followed your instructions and worked perfectly, can’t believe how easy it was ! Many thanks keep posting!

[@IONHowTo]

You're welcome! I did another last week on another toilet. That was a side feeding inlet and I replaced the whole inlet as it was super easy and a cheap model anyway. Didn't record it. Had some really hard weeks and couldn't do anything for anything. Will upload a lot more fixing home videos at some point. These kinds of videos are really close to my heart especially how many comments say thanks.

[@annacondor3186]

Fantastic explanation, did the job even though I have no experience, although I had to fiddle with the spindle arm to prevent it from stopping the float. Very clear and informative and saved money and waiting ages for a plumber.

[@MrPatricksongs]

Thank you so much my fri🎉nd!!! This video was exactly what I needed. Paid £6 for washer at Screwfix... No telling what it would have cost get the plumber out. 🙏🏽Again.

[@IONHowTo]

Glad I could help!

[@peterkenworthy9219]

There is another washer that sits at the very top. You have to prize off the white cap which you can see in your video. looks like a polo mint . I had to buy the whole thing as I couldn’t source that washer . Due to access changing the inlet valve was difficult as I couldn’t get the spanner to get a good grip and rotation . Do you know if the washer is available anywhere? I can’t find it on the Siamp website. I can easily source the diaphragm washer as in your video Thanks

[@llorika]

Oh mine this is great, I've got the same mechanism, replaced it myself and I am a woman lol 😂. It now works perfectly. Saved so much money for plumber. Big thanks for your helpful video.

[@dawnhughes2594]

Thanks to you our problem is now sorted, the rubber had split and since replacing the part, it works perfectly 😀

[@中华民族復兴强国梦]

I followed you instruction and found the exact problem with my toilet. I am not a DIY man, but still managed and all credits go to you. Now my only problem is where to find the rubber replacement, my local DIY store may not have the exact replacement. They may come as a whole unit at a higher cost.

[@IONHowTo]

You could take the part with you to several stores. One might have it. If not, you'll have to change the whole float system.

[@中华民族復兴强国梦]

Dragos Ion Thanks a million, Dragos. I found on line a local trade store , Screwfix and got the rubber gasket for @£5. My other half is very impressed, the only trouble is that from now on, she will expect me being able to fix anything at short notice.

[@sensel4298]

Hey buddy thanks so much for this video - I gave it a go and it works and the fizzing has stopped - I noticed that once you flush and the flush is finished you get some drops coming from the plastic piece - is there anything I can do to stop that ?

[@IONHowTo]

Thanks for watching! All water would come out inside the bowl. I'm not sure you can do more without replacing the whole inlet thing. Even if you replace it, it might still work the same.

[@catsharkvids7475]

That's excellent! I've run across this problem from time to time, but did not know about the diaphragm. Thanks!

[@SosiskaTheHorrible]

First video from search and exactly the one I needed thank you

[@DayakDreams]

Thanks for the video. I have the same model inlet valve with a different problem. I have a siphon type toilet so, the tube that fills the bowl full of water needs to be connected. I noticed yours is not hooked up and mine runs too strong. How did you turn yours off, and is it adjustable?

[@IONHowTo]

Turn off the water? I don't understand what you mean.

[@DayakDreams]

@@IONHowTo There is a little 3mm nipple extending to the right from behind the diaphragm. It normally has a tube on it. Siphon-style toilets use this tube to add water to the toilet bowl after flushing. you have no tube. did you turn it off? If so, how?

[@IONHowTo]

@@DayakDreams I didn't change anything on it. It's how it was installed from the begining. It works fine as it is. Hope it helps

[@trevorc6793]

Thank you for this. I had the same problem with the diaphragm, changed it and when the float reaches the top it doesnt shut the water off ?! Any ideas what would cause this please?

[@IONHowTo]

Try to wiggle the fload a bit and check for any foreign objects under it. Also could adjust it up or down to try

[@trevorc6793]

@@IONHowTo I couldn't see anything amiss. Wondering if Ive lost something from the end of the arm that should stop it? If I lift the float up the water doesnt stop at all :(

[@IONHowTo]

@@trevorc6793 aaa ok, watch the video at the end carefully. There is an arm that the float goes into so when the float goes up it moves the arm of the valve. Easy - take the valve cover off and do it like in the video.

[@trevorc6793]

@@IONHowTo I ended up removing just the old rubber diaphragm and replacing it with the the new one, that worked, so I can only think the white plastic part on the new part was deformed. Thanks for your help

[@user-sj9tu7om8o]

Hello, I used your advice and the water flow has improved so many thanks. I’ve got another problem though the water seems to be coming down the “pillar” now and there is no leakage from the two top parts you’ve pointed in the video. Any advice ?

[@IONHowTo]

Sounds like it's working fine, just make sure it stops normally so it doesn't overfill. It's not supposed to come thru the top.

[@starmstarm8581]

Dragos Ion thanks for your reply, could you tell me what is that part called the one you touch with your finger at 0:44? It doesn’t have a proper seal and the water keeps running and overflowing. Sorry for whatever reason KZbin didn’t let me know that you replied to my message. Thanks again.

I had a problem with the diaphram not stopping the water. Changed the diaphram and the rubber washer in the top of the inlet pipe but it has not worked. The float ends up under water but water still overflows into the toilet pan. Any ideass please

[@IONHowTo]

I have a video about the top rubber washer. Check the toilet videos. That might have a part missing. If these don't work it's time for a new inlet. I still didn't have to change it yet.

[@peterwebster6257]

It turned out the diaphhram was not exactly in the right place. Yjere is a small lug on the piece of plastic that the diaphram sits on thay engages in the main body of the valve and it was not engaged. I missed it andso did the plumber I called in. The top washer& was renewal curred the water hammer that started up. All now working . Great to have lots of videos to follow so thanks

[@peterwebster6257]

Yes it was the top washer and the diaphram all now replaced and properly fitted. What amazed me was a plumber recomeneded by the Plumbers Merchants didnt fix it first time so I wont be using him again,!

If its a Fluidmaster toilet valve ........remove the valve, turn upside down and look into the tube. You will see a foam plug seated about 1 inch into the tube. Use needle nose pliers to remove that piece of shit and then replace your toilet valve. Fluidmaster doesn't even show that foam plug anywhere on their toilet bowl schematic diagram. It's worthless and fails over time. Thank me later.
