Was so stressed because my toilet stopped flushing. Watched this and did exactly as he did. And it started working. Can officially say I’m a qualified YouTube plumber. This definitely saved me money and headache 🎉🎉

I was very sceptical this would work as the water was running like a waterfall, but it worked!!! Thank you so much! I never had a dad around to show me or ask about this kind of stuff and your channel is very helpful :)

Thank you so much!
I'm on my own now, and pushing up on my 70th year. I knew how to fix the old ones, and my wonderful husband used to fix everything asap when he was still around, but this new-fangled push-button type had me stumped.
After coaxing and teasing with the mechanism to try to get it to stop leaking water, without success, I'd had enough and decided YouTube was my answer.
And here you are! Bless you, Sir.

I’ve learned a lot from this guy over the years. Down to earth sort of chat and really helpful. Saved me a fortune in plumbers’ costs. Lovely English accent too.

What a great idea. Literally just bought a new syphon as mine while it does seal isn't snapping shut like it used to. Generally this is the beginning of the end. What I didn't realise is you could simply twist out the mechanism, I'd normally just disassemble everything / replace the lot. While not hard, it takes time and a new close coupler is required. For the sake of a few quid I'd always replace this, last thing you want is a leak on engaging the flush mechanism. Thanks very much, really love your videos.

Thank you so much 👊

Al, this video is genius! Took five minutes to watch your video and it was so well explained it took me only 1 minute to implement the fix!

Great tip about the washer. Mine had raised lettering on the one side so I figured the raised lettering would prevent proper seal. Just cleaned it well and reinstalled it smooth side down. Also cleaned inside where it seals to the body inside the toilet. Looks like this worked.
Second issue was my unit does not screw off, there are tabs on either side that have to be released. Not much room for my gnarly hands so i used a boot lace, hooked under the tab and pulled. Replacement gaskets for most name brand units are available on line. If unsure, take the gasket to local plumbing supply or big box hdw stores and compare to get the proper one.

What a hero i was given an apointment to wait to fix the unit in the system in given an appointment in 6 days time. I was given directions to turn the isolation valve to stop constant trickle of water and given instructions to turn it to flush the toilet it didnt work i rang them back explaining i had no way of flushing the toilet to be told to throw a bucket full of water down it to force it out ... after flooding the floor and the wall practically running at the toilet with a massive bucket of water i had had enough by this point ... I followed the steps on your video the height needed slightly lowering to get the button back on snug ..turned the isolation valve back on and the water filled in the system ....moment of truth it worked.. thank you so much!
