Easy and Affordable DIY Solution to Leaking or Noisy Toilet
I purchased this Fluidmaster Toilet Fill Valve Kit to replace the original fill valve that came with my toilet (14 years old). I had previously replaced the flapper a few times, but this time the entire fill valve was shot (Noisy, leaking & running). My water bill was running about $5 higher than normal, so this new fill valve will pay for itself in less than 2 MONTHS!
The install was extremely easy; taking only about 15 minutes. The included directions are easy to follow; no tools are necessary unless the existing lock-nut that is under the toilet is a bit seized. Before installing or removing any parts, turn off your water pressure at the toilet and flush your toilet to remove as much water as possible from the tank. Any remaining water can be soaked up and removed with a sponge. I always get a small bowl, or use an old towel under the toilet to capture any other small amounts of water once I remove the nut that holds the valve stem. The new valve kit and flapper easily attached to the flush arm and fill pipe. This is a very inexpensive and straight forward DIY project.
Like most Amazon shoppers, I count on honest, unbiased reviews. I hope you have found this review helpful in making your purchase decision.
