Mike, you saved my life. I run an Airbnb. My guests are coming in two days. Toilet stopped filling up, and I was in full panic mode. No emergency plumbers out here in the country. I tried this hack, and it worked like a charm. Thank you, thank you!!!!

watched your video, the wife wanted to call a plumber. I went to Home Depot sunday afternoon, bought the float value, did everything on the video, except remember how high the float valve was. There was air in the line, but eventually, the noise went away. Adjusted, viola. Saved me $150-250 for a plumber for 15 minutes of work. Thanks.

As a single woman I tend to have to call in the troops when things go wrong. But I tried your solution and that was exactly what was wrong. I’m up and running again, full speed ahead… thank you thank you thank you!

Practical no bullshit instructions. Fixed my fill valve not filling water problem at the first try in a couple of minutes. The deposits of corrosion gushed out of water inlet pipe after removing the fill valve. Viola, fill valve is back to normal.

You got a subscription from me for a brilliant thinking mind. 👏👏👏

Tried this today, it worked great. Thanks for making this video, Mike. It was very easy to follow along and now my issue is resolved.

Mike, you rock! After watching your video, I mustered my courage (because I'm not accustomed to doing SUCCESSFUL home repair), and it took five minutes to fix the problem. I've posted my appreciation on my FB wall. I cannot thank you enough.

I've never seen a tank that clean! ✌️

Hey, Mike, thanks for making the fix-it video. Solved the problem. I called our building repair guy last night. He said just hold down the flush handle to fill up the tank. I got tired of pressing the long rod down to activate the pump to fill the tank. So, this morning, did exactly what you instructed.
I cleared out any debris. The bottom plastic screw was loose. So after 20 flushes works good again. Thanks again!
