How to Fix A Running Toilet GUARANTEED | DIY Amish Toilet Repair

A running toilet wastes up to 200 gallons a day — $300 to $600 a year on your water bill. A plumber charges $150 to $300 to fix it. The part costs $3. I am Amish. We run gravity-fed plumbing on our farm in Lancaster County — every gallon comes from a tank we filled ourselves. When a toilet runs here, it is not a number on a bill. So we learned to fix it three generations ago. In this video I show you the 60-second food coloring test that tells you EXACTLY which of the three causes is running your toilet — then how to fix all three: The $3 flapper fix (covers 8 out of 10 running toilets) The free float adjustment (3 minutes, no parts, no tools) The $12 fill valve replacement (fits nearly every toilet made in 40 years) Plus the half-inch chain slack rule that makes new flappers fail, and the mineral scale on the valve seat that nobody checks. There is no industry that profits from you knowing a $3 part fixes most running toilets. There is a significant industry that profits from you not knowing. Tell me in the comments which one yours turned out to be — flapper, float, or fill valve. I read every comment and answer every question about your specific toilet. I am Elbert Yoder. God bless your home.
