Weak Kohler Toilet Flush-EASY FIX!...How to Replace a Flapper With Float

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Before proceeding with any work inside the toilet tank, turn off the water supply to the toilet. Locate the shut-off valve, typically a small handle or lever, on the wall behind or near the base of the toilet. In this video, a quarter-turn shut-off valve is used, which is easy to operate by turning the lever 90 degrees to the 'off' position. Once the water is off, lift the toilet handle to flush the toilet and drain all the water from the tank. This provides a clear and dry workspace for replacing the flapper.

Goal: Prepare the toilet tank for flapper replacement by stopping water flow and emptying the tank.
