How to Fix Jammed Flapper Valve in Toilet Cistern
Is your toilet constantly running, using up valuable water?
Sometimes the little flapper valve in the cistern gets stuck and you end up with a constantly running toilet… you can normally hear it running in the background.
Here’s a full video demonstration how to fix and repair the flush valve for little to no cost! The video also shows you what parts to buy to repair the leak.
1. Empty some food colouring into the water in the cistern
2. Wait a few hours. Can you see the food colouring in the bowl of the toilet? If so, you have a leak.
3. The toilet float will constantly be getting the signal to ‘keep filling’ when the valve gets jammed… and that is the root cause of your leak.
So now you know there is a problem, follow the video instructions below… and before you know it you’ll have the toilet ready to use!
