Thanks this solved my problem. I installed a new valve seat seal, new flapper and was still getting a running toilet unless I held it all the way down for an entire flush cycle. I had to move the chain pretty significantly down to be as taut as yours but once I did everything works perfect now. The handle feels way less loose too. Thanks so much, I've been having to shut my water off after every time I flushed, it was so annoying.

@MasDouc Жыл бұрын
@@Innuya you'll probably need to buy a valve seat seal kit, a steel wool sponge and and a new flapper. Take the old flapper off, use the steel wool sponge to scrape off any grime or particles causing a bad seal on your flapper. Put the epoxy that comes with the seal on the back of the seal (use almost the whole tube) and press it firmly in the valve seat (the little whole where the water goes) and let it sit for 15 mins. Then add the new flapper and adjust the chain so it's almost completely taut in the water. It'll give you a perfect seal.
@Innuya Жыл бұрын
@@MasDouc Thanks for the response, though I've fortunately fixed the issue - by moving! The problem I was having though, is that I'd push down the lever to flush and the flapper would go right back down. The toilet would only flush for a second or so. Had to hold down the lever for 20-30 seconds. Would the method you described have fixed that problem?

Go to Home Depot and buy a flapper with a float attached to the chain. The float will hold the flapper up until the water drains down to the right level.

I have a toilet that has been "fixed" by the landlord recently. He put an adjustable overflow valve, and an adjustable flapper into it, which he set both to be "low flow". After that it wouldn't even flush a piece of toilet paper. After watching a LOT of videos about how to fix this, and finding out that the "low flow" options do not work for toilets made before 1992 (which is my toilet), I adjusted the overflow valve to be higher, so the water level was the same as it used to be. After trying a bunch of times to adjust the adjustable flapper, and having nothing I tried work (I had to hold the handle down for almost the entire flush),I decided that maybe we need a new, older style, non adjustable flapper. So, today it arrived, and I installed it. I made sure to adjust the chain, and I adjusted it so there was very little slack. However, I still need to hold the handle down for a couple seconds when I flush it, to make it flush properly. I'm not sure why this is happening now. The toilet is not running, and other than having to hold the handle down for a couple seconds to make it flush, everything else is working fine now. I don't want to be continuously buying new flappers, just to have them not work, when I don't really know if it'll help anyway. What would your suggestion be?

So not only do you have to put another down, you need to point out that you have support? Oh, but let’s not stop there…now you whine because he didn’t demonstrate every step- that is absurd and a huge confirmation of your fragile insecure state of mind!

All you demonstrated was your deep rooted insecurities and low self esteem AND you are so ignorant, you have to be shown how to move a chain up or down a notch…🙄🙄🙄🙄how utterly pathetic!
