what?
most people water is all coming from the same source, i have never heard of using gutter water for a toilet.
Hey saw the toilt flap fix you are so cool Im in miami and im hooked. Im doing tile in a condo and the manager is given me a prob on the 1/4 inch cork sound proofing. He says I should get more ya but it costs allot more to have it installed.
Try adding a cup of chlorine bleach and letting it soak for an hour. Then use a toilet brush on a spot you can scrub. It should work.
Before my question, I’d like to thank you guys for putting such useful content on You Tube. It’s appreciated.
The question: My toilet functionally works, but inside the reservoir tank, everything below water level is coated with a black film. The water in it is clear, but the tank full of a black residue.
I posted a video of it, but youtube won’t let me link to it in this text response. It’s easy to find if you click my name.
Can you suggest a chemical to clean this? Thanks!
I for one would like to thank you for enriching the world with this content.
IT was first with writing that those that solve problems could first have there solutions recorded so that humanity could advance. By not having to continue to rediscover the same solution every time that problem came up..
you are creating solution that people can access at any time and from all around the world. Something to
about.
“good info, BUT” nothing.

your body is 10 trillion human cells and about 100 trillion microbes. If you removed the 100 trillion microbes from yourself you’d most likely die. Only a few types of microbes are bad. The anti-bacterial mind set is helpfull when a person is sick.
I’d point out that taking a young child to say a farm to play with the Animals and inhale powered fecal mater and all the microbes in such dust has been shown to significantly lower asthma and allergies.
You know the old saying about pleasing people…….. No matter how I do a video, there is *always* a person who feels compelled to complain…… I can understand it if you are *paying* for the content, but holy smokes, you get it for free. (still shaking head as he goes to the next comment….) You gotta love YouTube for exposing every aspect of humanity. Thank you Chad and Steve!
Good info, BUT the cutsy over- the- phone BS is a waste of time and a distraction.
Fluidmaster has the best products. They completely rule the toilet repair parts business.
It isn’t the same water which you drink if you have got a rainwater circuit which you use for flushing the toilet etc. which gets collected from the gutters. It is starting to be introduced in the UK because of price increases.
Excellent Video! Thanks
I like how you deduced the fixture problem. Please check out my home depot contest video.
If you are on city water, usually there is chloramine or chlorine dioxide in your water. But I believe the toilet tank gets contaminated from the mold that grows in the tank above the water line. If you use untreated well water, tank water is stagant water=lots of bacteria. In an emergency, I think you could treat either type of toilet tank water with halazone tablets or boil it to get drinking water.
Fluid Master Adjust-a-Flush is the most reliable and adjustable flapper I have found.

The video was just about telling Paul he needed a new flapper valve kit. I am doing another video to show *how* to install it.
Awesome, thanks!
Great videos, Tim!!! Enjoyed this one and all the rest also…
Oh I’m so glad I’ve got a place in my college to do Plumbing I !!! and well come Tim great job on the videos maaaaaan ! :))
Wow Tim, different format but very thorough.. It was basicly step by step, now what about loosing the chain or adjusting the height of the chain or bending that rod that connects to the ball, some turn in and out..?
Sigh! Man is a huge crutch word for me. I also say “Dude” too much. And then there is that arm-waving motion. If you watch some of my other work, I also say “now” and “okay” way too many times. All crutch words….those are words when your brain can’t think of the next thing to say. I cringe when I look at some of my older videos as well as this one!
Good for you! Plumbers are very important, and help keep people healthy. I am still a licensed master plumber, and do miss the day-to-day work. Plumbing is a fascinating and rewarding profession. You will do well with your great attitude.
im becoming a plumber in canada well on my way to become one, starting apprenticeship in january, these videos are pretty interesting. cant hurt to get an early start. keep up the good work!
Three cameras rolling at the same time separated by 2,000 miles. Add to that an excellent post-production person who uses Final Cut Pro. In other words, nothing to it……..
Amazing video. Very helpful all around. Thank you for helping me fix my toilet. I love how you two solved the problem together on video! How’d you do that?
Solution is the same. Paul’s flapper valve was worn out. I will be doing a video very soon showing you how to replace the fill valve.
