Thank you very much. I followed all directions and it was still leaking. I uninstalled and reinstalled four times thinking I did something wrong. I gave up and was going to call a plumber. But- I came back here and rewatched and voila - my test (the test you show ) proved my parts were broken. Ah ha! I’m not one to give up easily so I went back to Home Depot and bought another one. Prepared the room for the work. Tools, buckets, etc.
within FIVE minutes my toilet was fixed!! It flushed, filled and the water actually shut off. I am so proud of myself. My husband was the type who fixed anything and everything But he died two years ago. I’m on my own now at 61. I always worked alongside him, fetching him things which taught me the names of tools, and taking mental notes. I put your video and his tools to work and did a perfect job. Last week I fixed my AC leak. It’s been a week of running water. Thanks to you guys on YouTube for sharing your knowledge and helping us learn as well
as saving a lot of money I Very much appreciate it.

Of all the videos I've watched to address the leaking toilet problem, you are the only one that identified the problem I suspected after I replaced the fill valve and flapper and it still leaked but didn't know to fix it. Your demonstration has saved me an expensive plumber bill! Thank you.

I'm retired & live alone. You did a very nice job of helping me understand the tank workings. Thank you.

While I saw people make jokes, I admire your intuitively genius teaching skill to cut out the front of the tank purely for the purpose of transparency to explain it SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND AS A PIECE OF CAKE!! I appreciate YOUR TALENT AND GOOD WORK.

Without you do that cut off the front of the tank, it's hard to explain the inside water on-off mechanism of the tank. I know how stupid students do not appreciate their good teachers!!

When you explain the details of how to repair a toilet, you do such a wonderful service for countless people trying to make it while the greedy powers continue to squeeze us without a care for us at all Bless you.
