I did it myself so quiclky and as easy as that according video instructions and my toilet is not wasting water anymore and I've nearly spent a lot of money for calling a plumber to replace a diaphragm washer. Thank you. Gregory

Howsit! Thank you so much! My cistern was filling up in an endless loop. Just had to clean some limescale off of the rubber washer and it’s working as new! Taking the cap off was tricky but with a bit of careful upward force from behind while keeping the red lever down it came off like a charm!

Helpful video. My toilet would not stop filling the cistern, so I opened up the mechanism, re seated the diaphragm It's quiet now. We get a lot of water cuts in Harare and the dirt brings in a lot of debri I guess.

The screw thread on a brand new filler valve is easy to come off but once it's been in service for years and needs replacing the limescale welds it shut. Love to see you twist mine off with "no tools"!

Hi thanks for the great video. Getting the cap off was a bit difficult. Took a few minutes. That's the hardest part lol. After that changed washer and all sorted. Builders express stocks these diaphragm washer. Paid about R55(31 dec 2021). Thanks mate.

This video makes taking off the grey cap so easy but of boy it's not. Been struggling to get it off for a while and I'm afraid i might end up damaging the whole mechanism Update: i ended up damaging the retaining nut. For those who may come across this, make sure the red part covered by the cap is tilted to a somewhat 45 degree angel downwards. This should prevent the retaining nut from breaking. Also when taking off the cap make sure to pull from behind

How do you know your diaphragm washer must be replaced? My toilet doesn't want to stop filling. I fixed it but then it started doing the same soon after that

I checked the condition of the diaphragm washer, and it looked fine. Not broken, or perished, even the small washer in the red arm was fine. Yet the water continues to flow into the toilet. What else could be the issue?
