This video and a $5 repair kit from Bunnings has restored peace and quiet. I cannot thank you enough!

Best simple explanation on how to fix a leaking toilet cistern . I'm now going to fix mine. If I don't I'm going to have a very annoyed light sleeping wife that will hear the water pump activate on our rural property and get me up in the middle of the night to fix the problem . I'm one step ahead of her.

[@AnnErasmus]

😁 I empathise, good luck!😊👍

[@hardysingh7599]

I am sure many homeowners have older models of these dual flush systems and this gentleman’s video saved me a lot of guesswork and unnecessary costs. Thank you Sir!

[@AnnErasmus]

You are most welcome. I'm pleased you found it useful. Thank you very much for your feedback -kind regards Matt

[@Rae-EllenSwindells]

Thank you so much for this explanation. Wasn't sure if we were going to need to replace the whole cistern as we couldn't figure out how to undo the bottom bit to get the washer off without breaking it. Details where crystal clear a $3 washer and no more leaks. You are the best.

[@AnnErasmus]

Well done, you are most welcome 😊👍

[@vikkithomas5390]

Thrilled to find this. As a 58 yr old mum i was dreading the size of the bill to do this repair. Thanks to this i have DONE IT MYSELF!!! figured given i purchased 2 seals i would do the other loo here before it actually needs it. :) THANKYOU!

[@AnnErasmus]

Very well done, thanks for the feedback 👍

As everyone has said, this was a terrific video. I followed your instructions carefully, and it worked like a charm!. Thank you so much!

You are most welcome, well done 😊👍

[@jmdds]

It look like you have the proper replacement seal washer as some people buy a similar looking black seal for a different Caroma bodel which is too tight.

[@AnnErasmus]

Thanks for sharing 😊👍

[@ianp1853]

Thank you very much, I replaced the outlet washer, but it was still leaking. I then found your video, and based on your great explanation, I could see that washer was not sitting in a small ridge, some of it was sitting above it , amazing the amount of leakage this causes. I used a very small screwdriver, 2mm, to carefully tuck it down into the groove without damaging it, and problem solved. Thanks again for taking the time to post your incredibly helpful video.

[@AnnErasmus]

Well done. Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated 😊👍

[@sogno2me]

You really helped me as soon as you pulled it out because I wanted to put the 6 to 9 litre plastic adapter bit back in and totally forgot how it goes. As soon as you held it up I figured it out. Thanks. Much faster than looking for the manual.🙂

[@AnnErasmus]

Great, well done, thanks for your comment

[@christophergin1534]

Excellent video; clear and informative with the two crucial tips about seating the washer and cleaning finally solving the issues I had been having! I will note that for the Caroma Hi-flow style mechanisms, I only had success when allowing the (official spare clear /thin) washer to flare up off the plastic base. Given it's meant to seal with the outlet and not the plastic part, this makes sense.

[@AnnErasmus]

Thank you for sharing 😊👍

[@RajHidesHere]

Most helpful video! I still had leaks and it wasn't till I saw the butter knife technique I resolved my issues with new seals! Life saver! It was driving me mad!!!

[@AnnErasmus]

Pleased that the video was helpful, thanks for your comment 😀

[@user-xs5dp4gw8e]

Cheers and thanks you to both. Job done 'simple as pie' thanks to your explanations. Some extra tips that I found while doing this. 1) make sure you have a waste bucket handy as the perished washer (mine is black) is like ink and can make a real mess during the extraction process. Old towel/rags too for 'black' drips and water. 2) bucket or old container for flushing the muck out after you have removed the flush mechanism. 3) And lastly, while the cistern is filling up the first time pour some water over the 'weight' part (near the flapper wrapped around the stem that holds a little water) to fill it up. This weighted water helps to hold the stem in place during the refill. Thanks once again.

[@AnnErasmus]

You are most welcome. Thanks very much for generously sharing your tips, that is great advice 👍😊

[@leisuretime5132]

Thank you for taking the time to do such a well done video. You explain everything very clearly and thoroughly. I love it when people call everything by their names instead of "this thing or that thing". Thanks again, now I know how to change my cistern's sitting washer. 👏👏👏

Thanks for the video mate! I'm in Kentucky, USA and no one around here has any experience with Caroma cisterns. I bought this years ago when dual flush was new here in the States and Caroma was the best at it. But I've had a time getting my new washer to seat properly. I'll try your advice and see how it goes. g'day!

[@dougwachs]

well, looks like the soap and knife trick made it work. I also had not been really careful to keep the washer placed uniformly around the seat - it was mishapen a bit - I sorted that all out and it seems to be working. Thanks again - it was a real help - I love my 20+ year old Caroma and didn't want to replace it!

[@AnnErasmus]

Well done 👍 Thanks for your feedback

[@billybanana]

Thank you for showing how to take the mechanism out. In my case a small piece of Toilet Blue was stuck on the bottom of the washer causing it not to seal properly. A little clean and all was fixed.

[@evedewar]

Hi Matt & Ann Thank you so much for this helpful video. Any tips on getting the flusher buttons of this particular Caroma model to sit right? Sometimes the buttons feel tight - with no give at all when you tap them gently. In this case when you push down to flush, the button does not stay down to drain the cistern, but simply pops back up and flushing stops. For a proper flush, you have to hold the button down. Any advice would be appreciated.

[@AnnErasmus]

You are most welcome. Concerning your problem, I have never come across this but I found this article which may be relevant, good luck www.cathedralplumbingtx.com/blog/why-do-i-have-to-hold-down-the-toilet-lever-completely-to-flush-my-toilet/#:~:text=If%20the%20toilet%20doesn't,flush%20lever%20to%20the%20flapper.

A great video. Many thanks. Gave me the confidence to try and fix it myself. One question please. I am from Singapore. How do I order the the washer form Australia and ensure the correct spare. Many thanks.

[@AnnErasmus]

Thanks for your comment. I would suggest you try eBay or amazon. As for size they seem to be pretty standard. But if you measure your outside and inside diameters and check them against the specifications of the new washer you should be OK

[@cyrilstevenson5833]

Try this..It fi ed mine. TURN THE WASHER OVER USING THE OTHER SIDE. SMEER WITH VASOLENE OR CAR GREECE. IT WORKS WITH NO NEW WASHER

Hi there. I have a similar cistern and I am having problems with it. What does it mean when you have to hold the flush button down for a complete OR half flush. It stops flushing when I release the buttons. Thanks

[@AnnErasmus]

I am not sure. You could try flushing with the lid off, if that works normally then it may need the rod of the flush button to be adjusted longer. Good luck, thanks for your comment 👍😊

[@moz75]

Hi. Great video. It gives me confidence to DIY instead of getting plumber in. Only one problem. I'm not sure which seating washer to buy from bunnings. My Coroma is "Slimline" but has the same 2 buttons like yours, and the float thing on mine is on left side instead of right. Because of lockdowns I can't go into Bunnings to compare my old one. The 2 brands; Fix-A-Loo and Kinetic both have Coroma compatible washers. How do I find out which is correct? I'd be guessing but toilet is 15-20 years old.

[@AnnErasmus]

I think mine was kinetic. All I can suggest is to take measurements of the washer in place (without taking it off) then look online (ebay's quite good) for the replacement. Hope this helps, good luck

[@nedt]

Thank you mate. you didn't solve my exact problem but gave me the idea how to fix it. My pipe was seated to high up in the cistern.

[@AnnErasmus]

Pleased you were able to sort it out, thanks for the comment

[@jasondambrosio2817]

Hi your video helped fixed our problem. We did both replace the inlet valve and new cistern seal. However both flush buttons seem a little sticky and finicky when used. Is there a way to free them up a little? We have a very similar model toilet from same era.

[@AnnErasmus]

Yes, I have experienced a similar situation in the past, not sure what causes it. Mine çame right on its own after a few days. Might be worth while trying a little silicon spray on the mechanism? Thanks for the comment 👍😊

Thanks it fixed the water leaking into the bowl, however there is a very slow leak of water dripping every 5 minutes from the ridge is this normal?

[@mets23q]

After checking back half n hour later the dripping has completely stopped all is good 👍

[@AnnErasmus]

It is not normal but I would not worry about it. Very often the drip stops after a time because the rubber seal absorbs water and swells which then may help to seal

All good stuff but my problem is with the water inlet valve. I have changed the washers several times but it still leaks pouring water to waste via the overflow into the toilet bowl. HELP.

Sometimes it is easier to replace the whole inlet mechanism, quite easily done on most cisterns. Generic mechanisms are often quite cheap. Good luck😊👍

[@matthewosborne8345]

This worked but I had to try several times, and I ended up trying the "spare" brown one in the kinetic dual pack from Bunnings but in the end the trick seemed to be to wriggle the pipe at the bottom so it fits snuggley into that ridge. That stopped the leaking water. Touch wood.

Ok… hubby just kinda whacked it a bit. The little clips had gotten calcified or something. I had hoped to fix it myself without his help, but he ended up taking over. After at least 3 months of me nagging him, in the end it just took me going to Bunnings for the part, this video and less than 5 minutes. Looking forward to a full nights sleep tonight.

@@AnnErasmus yeah, whilst some parts such as the push buttons look different the clips appear to be the same. Some spray would’ve been a good idea.

My red washer didn’t sit flush like yours. Curved like a bowl no matter what I did. Also the dovetails at the back can be quite tight when removing.

[@AnnErasmus]

Other than lubrication and adapting the washer tight around central pipe, I have no other suggestions. Have you tried it curved like that? does it seal anyway? Yes I agree those dovetails can be a bit tight if they haven't been moved for a while. I usually use a bit of silicone spray lubricant to ease them. Hope this helps, thanks for your feedback, good luck.
