How to Fix a Slow Filling Toilet in 2 Simple Steps

Is your toilet taking forever to fill up after flushing? This could be due to debris obstructing the water flow. Don't worry, you can easily fix this issue in two simple steps. Here's a step-by-step tutorial based on the instructions from the video "How To Fix a Slow Filling Toilet in 2 Simple Steps!!" by Clean With Confidence.

Step 1: Clean Out the Fill Valve

1. Turn off the water supply to the toilet by turning the valve to the right.
2. Locate the fill valve in your toilet tank. It's the piece from the top to the bottom of the tank.
3. Remove the cap of the fill valve. You can use tools like pliers or wrenches to make this process easier.
4. Lift the cap by turning it righty-tighty, lefty-loosey, and it should come off easily.
5. Once the cap is off, turn on the water supply briefly to flush out any debris. You can cover the top with your hand or use a cup to prevent splashing.
6. Reconnect the cap securely back onto the fill valve.
7. Turn on the water supply and check if the toilet fills up properly. If it does, you're done with Step 1.

Step 2: Flush Out Debris or Obstructions

1. If your toilet still refuses to fill up properly, move on to Step 2.
2. Place a bucket under the fill valve to catch any water.
3. Disconnect the fill valve from the tank by turning it to the left.
4. Flush out any debris by holding a hose in the bucket and turning on the water supply.
5. Turn off the water supply and reattach the fill valve by hand-tightening it.
6. Put the lid back on the tank and turn on the water supply.

Additional Tip: Replace the Fill Valve if Needed
