Kudos Bill.! You're 3 times faster in your tutorials than the lame American tutorials that drag on and on...simple, concise & effective. I repaired my elderly neighbors leaking toilet and just saved her $150-200 on a service call out!

[@billshowto]

Great work, glad I could help👍

[@sowhat3430]

Totally agree, those yankee just on and on something unrelated to the thing I wanna know

[@mdeshon]

Thank you for making a tutorial that’s quick and easy to understand and follow in the Australian context.

[@billshowto]

You’re welcome 👍

[@gl6517]

Thanks Bill, exactly what I needed to know, i really appreciate you uploading this for all us non plumbers out there.

[@billshowto]

👍

[@Katers1343]

A bloody legend, we’ve waited for a guy to come out and check ours out for about 6 months now. might as well just fix it myself at this point

[@billshowto]

That’s why I started this channel, to help people do things for themselves and save their money 👍

[@chriswagner9941]

mate you get 100% thumbs up from me you just saved me a heap of money thank you brother!!!! you are a blessing i watch your video once and went a did the job it took me longer to drive to bunnings then to fix it again you are a legend

[@billshowto]

You’re very welcome 👍👍👍

[@norton750100]

I just fixed our dunny using this video as a guide as it is the exact same cistern. Excellent stuff, good instructions on how to get the plunger system out, much appreciated.

[@brettmoffitt8223]

Thanks Bill. I followed your video and it worked a treat. It helped to take a note of the cistern make (mine was caroma) before heading out to get a new washer. Also, it took a few different types to settle on one that worked.

[@Democracy_Manifest_SCM]

Thanks mate! I love how you’re straight to the point. Saved me a case of Great Northerns for the neighbour to come over and “take a look”.

[@amigee2041]

Good save, but I wish I had neighbour who could take a look at things for 60 bucks 😂

[@notsosilentj]

After removing the cistern to paint bathroom tiles, then reattaching. The loo ran for a week. Watched your vid and gave it a go. A small leaf was obstructing the connection causing it to run. Such a simple fix, Great video!! Cheers!

[@blodknut5595]

Thanks Bill! Great demonstration on how to locate the source of the leak. I didn’t even know about the seal in the cistern. I wrongly thought the running water in the bowl could be a washer in the tap that fills the cistern. I know where to start first with my troubleshooting.

[@sv1911]

Thanks Bill. So relieved I found your channel. Love how you keep it simple as I have no DIY skills.

[@craigm235]

Great short video!
I wish all other Vloggers can get straight to the point like you do.

[@pippatorpi2353]

Thank you Bill , this was very helpful and gave me confidence to tackle it my self...! 👍

[@sarajack2241]

Loved the fact that the video was simple to follow, and I followed it to the letter. Only problem is I seemed to have made the leak worse.

[@vijendrasingh674]

Great video .I was looking at changing the whole cistern .you helped me fixed the problem.
Thanks mate

[@bluedwarf8858]

Its interesting to see different types of systems in different countries and how they work compared to what's in the uk. Good video

[@chocolate_squiggle]

I need to seal up a motorcycle tank (temporarily - and not for gas!) and I keep seeing American videos/forums refer to a 'toilet flapper' which I thought was just hilarious. Come to look up what they are and I think they're for chain flush systems which aren't so common anymore here in NZ. But I did find your video through searching that and it's awesome, I really enjoy learning these simple concepts all our fathers & grandfathers probably knew. Bonus is I recognised the Kinetic brand is available at Bunnings so I'll measure up my tank and head on in to look at the 'seating washers'. Thanks!

[@alexandramunoz4551]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge Bill, I just repair my leaky toilet! I will be able to sleep and will save hundreds of litres of water (and dollars) 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@JsIack]

Didnt know the hiss noise our toilet was making was that bad until i saw my $732 water bill. Definitely fixing it

[@janetieken6940]

PS Bill, mega thanks for having the name of the washer on camera. Made my life so much better!

[@shotchopper]

[@oodlemeister633]

[@loopy7057]

You're an absolute champion mate. Saved me hundreds of dollars!

[@kylablackwell8599]

Thank you so much, I feel like a champion...I just fixed my own toilet, saved myself $55..

[@midnightkiteflight6333]

If anybody wonders why it isn't working - notice that there is a raised section on the inner ring of the washer. This should be facing UP when you put the washer on, as in the ridge faces upward toward the flush buttons. Once I figured this part out it worked perfectly!

[@VineshChandra-cf6dd]

You are doing great job bro.

[@marktaylor3770]
