Easy DIY Fix For A Slow Filling Toilet
Fill Valve Replacement Seal - amzn.to/3WldGth
Video On Replacing The Fill Valve - ruclips.net/video/126WSpchmS8/видео.htmlsi=XF-qh9HEh8QWsNnf&t=269
I will walk you through a simple fix that any homeowner can perform to quickly fix a toilet that fills the tank slowly. The majority of tanks should fill in 30-45 seconds but mine took over 5 minutes so I knew there was an issue. I have found this fix to be the same solution to other common issues such as a toilet that continues to run or when you hear a loud whistle at the end of the fill cycle.

    You're lucky you live in an area where you can shutoff your water from the curb. We had an old valve like yours. I was repairing another faucet and turned off the water valve. Went to turn it back on and leaking like crazy. Turned it off and leaked even more. Did the packing trick like you said and called a plumber...well plumber said "ok looks like it will hold" then turned it an 8th of a turn and bam! Huge rush of 90psi water everywhere in the flooded basement. He was able to get it settled down to about 15psi and used a hand pump to get the water out psi while the water authority came within an hour and had to shut off the water mains, which in New England are like 8 feel below ground. Huge mess, but ended well with two ball valves (one before the inside meter and one after) along with a reducer to bring it down to 60psi. I've never use these valves again. Ball valves all the way.

    20 minutes are way too short test. Electrical installation should keep as safe for decades, not for minutes. Also Wago does vibration tests with many different conditions. Beside 221 series, there is a 2273, which is very thin in comparison to 221. Theoretically 2273 is one time use, but practically You can remove wire multiple times. Anyway, many people complaining to them, cant read very short manual at the back and they strip wire insulation less than recommended 11 mm. Always read manuals before first use - electrical current is not a toy.

    A superior back-up to complement the Delta Pro would be a dual-fuel inverter generator. Fuel flexibility and recharging on your own schedule, especially in the cold weather, would be a bonus. I am considering this set-up as a back-up for my own modest family home here in Alberta. Thinking about my neighbours, too.
