021: Fix Running Toilets

Shack has a running toilet and the fix couldn’t be any easier. It sounds like his toilet tank has too much water in it…so, how does this get fixed?   Most toilets have a float on the fill valve. This float controls the water level in the toilet tank. If you adjust the float you’ll adjust the water level, which should be about 3/4” to 1” below the overflow pipe in the center of the tank.   I’ve got a really good video tutorial on this over on Home Repair Tutor   http://www.homerepairtutor.com/how-to-fix-a-running-toilet/   This is a project anyone can do.   Today’s Quick Tip is discusses the Ridgid Copper Pipe Cutter Model No. 15.   If your’e doing any kind of plumbing work that involves copper pipe you need one of these cutting tools. It come with an extra cutting wheel and has a reamer on it to ream out the cut copper pipe.   I give away tools like this over on Home Repair Tutor, so be sure to visit    http://www.homerepairtutor.com/       You can submit a Quick Tip or Question 3 ways:   Call me at 412-347-8711    Visit http://www.homerepairtutor.com/podcast/ and use the SpeakPipe recorder   Or signup to my email newsletter and respond back to me       If you want to update your bathroom you might want to check out Bathroom Repair Tutor    http://bathroomrepairtutor.com/   Our memberships are limited to 100 people on a monthly basis.
