how to adjust a dual flush toilet

[@toddsoliva7053]

I cannot believe it was so simple. I have two of these toilets and your tutorial saved me the embarrassment of telling guests they might need to flush twice. I agree with you that l wouldnt purchase these again.

[@taktickle]

Thanks man! My toilet wasn’t filling at all after changing the water valve. It turns out I forgot I was playing around with the fill valve to see if that fixed the water hammer noise and I left the floater with no give. Saved me from going to Home Depot for the 4th time! 😂

Thanks for the very informative video, it saved the day for me. The tank was draining very, very slowly. The cartridge had lime build up on the seal. Fixed per your video. Cheers!

Great video. The resources Madison has on their website left me high and dry but this video filled all the gaps.

[@jhead9065]

I had the same problem. I rubbed it down with a soft cloth to remove the calcium. I removed the silicone seal and wiped it off. All good. Great video very thorough. Thanks.

[@rortiz77]

How do you get it to fill more water info the bowl (not the tank)?

[@stevecostly6448]

You just save me from. buying a new toilet thank you God bless

[@dreamceline2093]

This was very helpful. For some reason my plunger had developed a bubble in the rubber seal. I popped it like a pimple and now it’s working fine. I didn’t know you could take that thing apart and service it until this video. Thank you!

[@senthilnayagan7047]

I felt that was a difficult task. I can now do it myself after seeing your video. Thanks!

[@memania-]

My fill valve doesn't stop pouring water even when the floater goes up, does it mean it needs replacing?

[@FramelessFrontiers]

Hey man, did you ever get an answer for this?

[@festival10]

This is what i did to fix mine! kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4Ckl5aofainha8si=cZMsysNvoXZwmRSZ

[@jagiii4482]

Thanks for your help you saved me from buying another toilet, my Jacuzzi lives to see another flush. Wow I had the same problem slow flush and I did have calcium in my plunger and that trick to move those blue tabs all the down made a Super BIG!!!! difference in the flush. Now it feels like my toilet wants to suck me in too like an airplane toilet lol.

[@dc6233]

Realistically, if your toilet was flushing fine, no need to make it use more water. I just bought 2 of these, because they were 200$ on clearance for 45$ each, and oval with the silent close toilet seat. It's actually allot more comfortable to sit on and an easier target to hit when standing, so far we are very happy especially since we paid so little for them. Gotta love LOWES around the last week of January, that's when they clear out the previous years bath stuff - hint hint... We got a 3 piece glass shower for 90$ as well, retail was 585$. Yeah, the little guy wins once in awhile...

[@kellypopelka6644]

This was helpful, but I still don’t seem to have much water in the actual toilet bowl. How can I increase the standing water in the bowl?

[@keletsobapela]

Thank you for the video, I was stuck not knowing how to increase the water volume but all is well and I saved a few rands😁

[@ibrahimcamara8059]

Thanks a lot. My toilet tank was not filling up (no water at all). This process made it work.

[@thegolfnut812]

What about the stem inside the valve and cleaning that?

[@LIVINGRETIRED310]

Did you ever find out what that longer adjustment was.

[@kleenx73]

This saved my butt at 11:00 pm at night, thanks for the info

[@stanchoi1972]

How often should you clean it for a calcium build up if 2 people use the toilet? The toilets are about a year old. I don't want to disassemble it to clean if there doesn't seem to any problem yet. Thank you.

[@tomlund9860]

Every once in a while it’s good to put some activated charcoal in the tank, it slightly acidifies the water dissolving mineral buildup and also absorbs minerals in the hard water

[@Jesusiswatchingyou-123]

Please tell me more..how much do you use?

[@hydroturf9839]

For real man you just saved me from buying new parts for all three of my bathrooms

[@victor9501]

It looks like the screws holding the cistern to the WC are a bit rusty. Have you thought about changing them to stainless steel ones?

[@bluemoon6460]

I'm having issues with filling up faster. Mine takes like 2.5 minutes. This dual toilet is almost like mine. Is it possible you do a video how to fix the slow water 💧 flow? Thanks again!! 😁😁😁

[@telabib]

Try adjusting the fine adjustment clockwise.

[@clementckw]

whats the tube that goes into the overflow? how does that work?

[@sethea]

That's the water that fills the bowl after flushing.

[@zaira298]

This video helped me to fix my leaking toilet. Thanks

[@GayleShepherdess]

Very helpful as I couldn’t even find a Foremost website. But music is distracting.

[@kengibbs3523]

Just got one of those types an it seems that the bowl doesn't fill enough it seems that the overflow is to short so the tank only fills less then a foot. But it seems like it has a strong flush. It is brand new I was wondering if I add a piece of pipe on the overflow would that fill up the bowl higher so the (Mr. Hanky) would have a deeper end 💩 You showed me a few things on this type of plumbing good information. Thanks !

[@kengibbs3523]

This is a shit toilet cheap about 100 dollars it might do the job for you but I went an got a toilet about 200 dollars you get what you pay for an thought I was gonna get this type of toilet that had a hole new type of toilet technology but it's more like a turd on a journey that the narrow piping that is built-in to the unit is a rollercoaster ride an they 💩👈 get stuck in the pipe an it gets worse if it gets near the flange if it gets passed the narrow bowl piping... I found the perfect toilet that you flush the toilet an it's ready for more in one foul swoop 💩 never leave a turd behind don't get fooled with the stuff in the tank if it's 100 dollar toilet it's shit. At least on this end

[@michaelpunzalan3294]

[@denniscummins-pe8ng]

[@patriciacolocado4740]

We kinda have the same valve and it is a push down toilet as well. Problem is, the toilet wont fill with water. How can we fix it please?

[@Ladykynn]

Im.having the same problem after i adjusted the clip

[@coolamberdog]

Take the rubber ring off and turn it the opposite way around

[@EPaulIII]

You mention using a wire brush. While the CLR is great for removing calcium deposits, I would not use a wire brush on the plastic parts. It will scratch them and those scratches can actually introduce leaks. Just use a brush with plastic bristles. An old tooth brush is good: I take all my used tooth brushes out to the garage/shop for a second life.

[@gwvest]

old toothbrushes work the best

[@veronicacovalciuc5233]

What if the valve that the water comes through (the one with the blue cap) is too short and it’s at the highest point an the eater is still too little?

[@kathrynsims4595]

Brilliant clear instructions, thank you so much I'm one happy lady, all fixed now

[@renaoh]

Thank you for the video, a very clear and detail instructions. I will try out you method to fix my cistern which cannot flush very well.

[@damf74]

I have the same flush toilet and there is a leak of water under the blue fill valve which hold the float. How can I avoid that ? It's very stressful listening to the small noise all day long....thank you for your help

[@rapunzeleh546]

you solved my problem with one sentence. the 'out hole' in the toilet is where the water is supposed to rush out. mine fills fine, but you have to hold the flush valve down... sometimes it flushes all the way, sometimes not. but if you dump a pot of water in really fast, whoosh and down it goes, so not the 'disappearing' end of the toilet. i took the flush valve out and cleaned it top to bottom, but it back and still the same thing... took the part from the duplicate toilet in the basement and same thing, but both flush valves worked in the downstairs toilet, so obviously it's the toilet not the flush valve. on with the rubber gloves and whaddaya know, i could actually feel crunchy bits all around the inside of that front hole (sure there is a technical name)... just about out of CLR, so i dumped a whackload of vinegar in it. not sure how much my septic tank critters will like that but better than chemicals... so thanks! pretty sure that's going to fix it. 5 mins later. took a tiny screwdriver, with the handle down into drain hole, and gave a few pokes at the calcium crunchies and they came off no problem... back in business!!

[@kippywylie]

Just installed a similar low flow valve and new toilet for the first time in our home that previously had an ancient traditional toilet. Our first day with this and I'm confused as to why we're needing to hold down the white button for almost the entire flush to get the full force needed. Shouldn't this be a simple one touch and done? What have I got wrong?

[@DeJach]

You went wrong when you got rid of the superior old toilet. (Sorry, I'm renting and hate this thing in the video.)

[@kippywylie]

@@DeJach Maybe, but the 100 year old toilet had an ugly cracked bowl for decades. Plus the ball-cock flush mechanism was constantly getting stuck and needing attention every few weeks. Annoying when I come home after many hours to find that someone forgot to shake the handle after a job. I've adjusted this new American Standard low-flow and so far it's pretty good.

[@SreyasDipam]

Thanks brother, worked, I fixed it myself

[@hadoukenhadouken9219]

[@bryanstanley6156]

After installing a brand, new toilet, does the same thing the other toilet did whereas it will flush down the water in the tank but the water in the bowl will not go down. What’s the problem?

[@Sobin16]

This sophisticated siphon is by design a mess. The old school ball float was and still is way more reliable. The culprit is usually a delicate rubber diaphragm seated atop this siphon that is controlling the water flow into the tank. The diaphragm has a pin hole, actuated by the float arm. The thing is over time dust or minute rust particles pass through the inlet side and get lodged in the pin hole. This disturbs the vacuum, preventing a perfect seal in the area where the diaphragm sits. Eventuallly you have this run off situaution. Althhough a simple dismatle and clean up is enough, a majority of normal folks end up damaging the diaphragm or not sealing the system properly and that's the point of no return. I am currently on my 3rd set in 9 years. When the leak starts I always try to fix it once and if it occurs again in a short while (which it will if not done the proper way), I've learned to straightway replace it as it is fairly cheap, costing less than $5 here in India. The stuff is made in China anyway and is by design a use and throw spare. Saves time and gets the system back in business in under one business day. The only real benefit I see in the single piece toilet vs. the more traditional european toilet is the less water that is needed per flush, plus it looks sleek. But the king of reliability is always the traditional ball float siphon. There is nothing sophiticated in its mechanism and any average joe can replace a faulty ball float flush siphon rather than paying a plumber.

[@Cal316326]

Thanks for the vid. Finally knew how to adjust. Mine just started to overfill after 2 years for no reason.

[@Cade-rg9lz]

Thank you I have simular toilet mechanism I noticed it started leaking water tonight from the kitchen lights downstairs so I headed up and took some water out from the top bowel and noticed there was a plastic tube sunken to the bottom of the bowel but still attached to the right hand side part then I noticed the plastic flusher has two small round holes either side so I put the tube into the plastic flusher but had to put it quite far down. The it looks a lot longer than yours! So basically what I think happened is the water was very close for over filling the bowel after flushing and now I'm concerned about flushing it. This all happened within the last few hours so what do you suggest I try please? Hope all that makes sense.

[@ytbpre8424]

Hey bro, I got the same model, there is an issue that the water come in like stop and go and stop and go, no idea how it comes, tried to adjust the float but no use,

[@jamesmhenderson]

Remove the float (carefully pull apart hinge where it connects). Pop the little blue top off the intake valve (left). Counterclockwise quarter turn and the valve comes apart. Check the seal for mineral build up and clean. Reassemble. That should fix it if it just keeps flowing even when the float is up.

[@UnreachabIeCode]

What part is the siphon with the blue button? Mine is a similar design, a bit taller. It’s currently not dropping the valve after a flush, which means it just keeps running water and doesn’t fill the cistern. Is there a way to fix this?

[@ZaneTyler-c5q]

you do not have to turn the flush valve all the way till it stops (mine does not stop lock)(12:33) because it is the flush valve seal, that "seals" not the valve position. Also, on my Tuscany Dual Flush, you can turn the flush valve C.C.W. or C.W. -- it does not matter and center the blue-half flush/white-full flush) just like it came from the factory. The number gauge on the flush valve faces towards the bowl which places the white-full flush on the right side.(Full flush is also called "Long Flush". I imagine you can swap which side you want the Full vs half flush on by rotating the valve itself and the dual buttons, but why? I just left it the way factory had it. the two push buttons are easy to clean with vinegar or alcohol. It even disassembles easy if you really want is super clean. Personally, I clean "IT" everyday. Not too many things are worse than a nasty loo. It's possible to push the two buttons all the way down, and get them pretty clean without taking them apart.

[@kippywylie]

My first exposure to this system after a lifetime of traditional values. Why is it that we're needing to press the full flush button and hold it down waiting for the entire flush to complete instead of a simple press & go like it should be? I DIY installed a new American Standard toilet yesterday

[@bigwhiteshogun]

Thank you so much it took me less then 5 minutes to fix my toilet. And I hate two left hands while being right handed with this sort of stuff.

[@lorcster6694]

my toilet is different. the push button is screwed onto the flush rod. and the flush rod has reduced in height so i cant screw it back on. and I cant raise the flush rods height! But I cant find any video or model with the same toilet as me with an explanation.

[@MrPrynxlex]

Hi, just got this installed. And its been a problem. The fill valve doesn't seem to shut off completely. The float does its work perfectly and stops the water. But I have noticed overtime that the water keeps trickling in and the tank gets full. How do I fix this. Also what's the function of the hose leading into the overflow?

[@wellifthemediasaysit]

Agreed, i have the same problem! Slow trickle, despite the valve fully 'shut'!

[@hahahuhu9828]

Same here. Different brand but the water trickling very slowly

[@toomanylies7716]

Likewise. I'm going to try a new fill valve after cleaning the flush assembly, but if that doesn't work, i'm all out of ideas. Fill valves can fail over time.

[@briantangen6922]

You may have to take apart your fill valve. I had a similar problem where the toilet would fill very slowly and not always turn off completely. I took apart the fill valve and saw it was plugged with debris from the water line which both prevented the water from flowing freely and stopped the valve from closing completely every time. After I cleaned the debris out with a small screwdriver it worked great.

[@stevebanks484]

Great video but it would help if you didn’t move the camera around so we can’t actually see what you are adjusting.

[@andrewpaul1207]

how do you adjust how much water is in the bowl? seems way too little.

[@dc6233]

The 2 valve adjustments control how much water flushes, the water level in the bowl is probably relevant to the design of the trap that's cast within the toilet itself; The water level in the bowl has to be just above the trap. You can try adjusting the valve but I don't believe that will help. If it's flushing and not plugging up, leave it be. The water in the bowl only has one function, to trap the sewer gases from reaching your nose. It's why the Queen of England was chopping off heads left and right until one of the peasants learned how to trap the water within the bowl, thus sealing off the stench...

[@Zain09921]

In my case The bowl is not functioning well. it doesn't stopping the water flow. It's keep the water flow in and water gets over flow through the small valve near the Central unit. Don't know why the bowl is not doing its job well. Does it is an issue with the washer ? Do anybody knows ?
