Fix leaking Caroma Stylus toilet for under $6. Stop that flushing sound!

If this has helped you out, please consider buying me a coffee to support this channel. TIA.

Our toilet's cistern was leaking water into the bowl and the inlet valve wouldn't stop filling up. We thought that the inlet valve was faulty but it could be something much simpler.

For us, we just needed to replace the washer and no more flushing sound! The washer is either worn or has bubbles in it, causing the water to drip down to the bowl. This causes the inlet valve to keep filling up (flushing sound) because it detects that the cistern is not up to its optimum level of water yet.

Hopefully, this will save you a bundle of money as the solution is only about $6 at your local hardware store.

Thanks for sharing how to remove this part with a firm twist. Just replaced with the exact same seal pack from Bunnings which have now increased by 18% over the last 3 years to $7.08.

Thank god for these YouTube videos! As single mum, it saves me thousands! I’ve been putting up with my toilet leaking for over 4 years! If I had to wait for my partner to do it, it would never get done😅

took ages to find a video with the same toilet as what i had then finally found yours. Thanks for the video. :)

Perfect thank you! Fixed one issue I had! Don't forget to clean any bits of old rubber in the bowl from the old washer or it may still leak 😊 The other issue for anyone in a similar situation was my float switch (the white thing on the right) had come loose, but was as simple as re-inserting the prong into the hole on the left hand side 😊

What a great video. 2X $6.00 washers from bunnings
fixed my two systems. Didn't have to pay the plumbers callout fee and for the job👌👍

Good video, the removal of the flush mechanism is not obvious until you know. You can also reverse the washer to get another life out of it. Mine is still going well after doing that. Happy New Year.

Right on target. Your video really helped me. Replaced silicone washer. All is well. First time for me so valve was a little tight removing. Applied a little soap on replacement washer and it went right back on. To test, put a little piece of toilet paper on back of toilet bowl up high, waited 15 minutes and it never got wet. - Thank you

Thanks for the video. I just turned the washer over and popped the bubbles it it seals now.

Legend for this video - exact same model, couldn't figure out how to get the flush column/pipe out. cheers!

[kevinmorton]

Yes. I pulled it out. And turned the silicone washer upside down.
That worked.
All good information. 👍👍👍
