      If you lift the Cistern Ball with your hand when you flush the toilet does it stop the water filling up the cistern? If it does then it probably just needs adjusting so it shuts off the water at a lower height. If not then it's probably broken.

      @LurgsHowToGuides  Před 3 lety

      They normally are adjustable on a small screw, if not and it's on a metal rod you can literally bend the metal rod so the ball is lower and so it will shut off quicker. Be careful when you bend it.

    Why do you keep telling me about completely unrelated videos? I am trying to watch your video on a flush and you keep ranting about your other complete irrelevent videos...?

      I agree. One of my older vids, popular CZcams help channels said make sure you promote your other videos! But I agree if they are unrelated it's a bit pointless. I don't do it now. Hope vid was useful and please click this link to see how to build a rocket ship.👍🏻😆. Have a great weekend.
