Wow I searched high and low to find this info. Very clear and to the point video.

Whoever tiled that shower behind you did a phenomenal job with the til layout. From the height, to the niche size and location, to the wraps. Excellent job.

Please disregard my question on previous post. Everything you told me on this video worked and the only other thing i had to do was shorten the chain on the handle since it was a new one that came with the flapper and needed adjustment so when i flipped the handle to flush it was not wobbly due to too long of a chain. Thank you so much. You are very good at instructional videos. Very straighforward and no extraneous details that just confuse people.

I just watched your video and went and fixed all 3 of our toilets in the house afterwards. THANK YOU!!!
We have had to hold down the handle on all 3 since we moved in 5 years ago. It was an easy 5 minute fix on each 😊

Thank you. I had fiddled with the toilet chain to try to fix this problem. Would not have guessed in a million years that the flapper was actually Perfect fix! Only thing, on mine, I could not get the bulb to move by hand. Looks like flimsy plastic, but it would not move my hand. Vice grip kept slipping off. Had to use a channel wrench!! Thanks again.

Great to hear that this works for some people and it's WONDERFUL to see others, like yourself, take their own valuable time to help those in need. Unfortunately, my flapper has no adjustment and varying the chain length makes no difference.
You MUST hold the handle down to flush the entire tank. Maybe my flapper bulb has a pinhole and is filled with water, making it slam down immediately? Not a big deal for me, but IT IS for my girlfriend. Needless to say, I'm gonna' replace the entire tank assembly to keep her happy.

Thank you! My toilet has been trickling water the past 6 months and it doubled my water bill! Thank you!

Very good instructions, so I'm going right now to fix that problem! You're a gem! Thank you so much, and God bless 🙏🌹
I've edited to tell you that I've tried what you said, but I still had to hold down the flush lever so that the toilet would completely flush.
MY problem wasn't fixed but I do appreciate learning this, as I can still pass on the information to others that I know. Thanks again🙏

After searching all over YouTube, your video is the only one that actually addressed the problem. IT WORKS!! Ours was exactly as yours in the video and my husband turned it to 10 and on the 2nd flush it now works perfectly! THANK YOU!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH. So I just installed a new Korky Refill-Valve and was having a difficult time understanding why the new flapper kept closing right away not allowing water to pour into the bowl, so I reinstalled the old flapper, But after watching this video, I see there is an adjustment on the new flapper. Out of the packaging are 3 total circular openings, maybe I need to adjust it to one?

That was the simpliest instructions ever. It worked. Thank you for saving me so much frustration. Flushes easier than it ever has. It was hard to flush.

THANK YOU. I also have the 540. My flapper had worked for years and then suddenly stopped. It was doing the exact same as what you were experiencing. I had seen that it looked like it could be adjusted, but when I tried, it would not move. Now I know that it does. Thank you

Wow, thank you. This worked perfectly and saved me the cost and hassle of having to get a plumber.

Thank you so much...I have had problems with this for months. I researched a while back and found nothing. I was so thankful to find your video!!! It was so easy!

Thank you for helping me fix the problem. On my toilet being a different model, with a black color flapper the clear plastic bulb does not turn. You need to disconnect it completely from the flapper, by pressing down two little buttons, they are located on the bulb 180 degrees apart ( and are very hard to find ) Once you remove the bulb, you can then snap it back into a desired setting. Thanks.

Thank you for your video I was having problems having to hold my flusher handle down to get a good strong flush for several seconds but now I know how to fix the problem and this was exactly the kind of video I was searching for. Thank you so much! 😁

I cannot tell you how happy I am that I found this video! Solved my problem right away. Thank you so much!

Where have you been? I've sat backwards on hundreds of toilets since I've been a plumber for 34 years. Now you taught me how to install siding, how to build a shed, how to Install crown molding and how to wire a 3 way switch.

Thanks for the information!

My flapper was just a full piece of rubber, but I just took it off and put it on again and it seems to be ok now

If anything, I'll get one with the adjustable flapper in the future
