![]() ![]() Adjust your fluidmaster to a low tank refill setting.ģ. It still floated and turned off the ballcock.Īnyone who has a fluidmaster installed in their toilet at home can easily do this test for their own knowledge and to prove fact from fiction.ġ. I have already did the same thing by holding the float under water and alllowing all the air to escape.I even took the float apart underwater to make sure it was FULL of water. WHY do you think drilling holes in the top is the only way to fill it with water? Did the one in your video have holes drilled in it? You do realize those floates are in two pieces right? You think where they meet together is water tight? Where is the water line on the fluidmaster float after the ballcock shuts off? Its near the top of the float and the flaot naturally has water in it. Even if the fluidmasters float does get full of water it will still float UP and if the fluidmasters seal will allow it to shut off it WILL shut off. The water cannot overflow into the top hole of the float unless the ballcock fails to shut off. The float fills with water from the bottom as the water level rises in the tank after a flush. Two on the bottom half of the float and one in the top half of the float. I do not know how to explain this any simpler.The float has three holes in it. The air escapes and the cup fills with water making it not float anymore. Take a plastic cup turn it upside down push then keep it square with the water surface and push it in the water, the trapped air makes it want to float right back up. Floats with water in it and no air will no longer be buoyant anymore, it is simple science. Why not take one with a fully assembled float and take a drill and drill a hole in the upper cup and let it fill with water then lets see what happens. I said your videos are invalid, separating the top part of the float from the bottom does not prove anything. Watch my video, it stays down, I lifted it and it went right back down. I have seen the crap you posted about me on the other forum you hang out on. Seems to me no matter what is shown you just want to argue with the people you do not like. I do not know how to explain this any simpler. ![]() ![]() Watch my videos!!!!!!!!!!!watch my video, it stays down, I lifted it and it went right back down. Water will not keep a fluidmaster float down. I guess your not understanding that the float will rise even if its full of water. So to close this one out.the ballcock malfunctions THEN the float may fill with water because its submerged. The float filling with water is a result of the ballcock not shutting off and the refill is faster than the overflow can handle or the flushvalve tube is higher than the float. I'm sure others have found a float that was submerged as have I but the reason why the ballcock failed to shut off was not the float filled with water. But unlike you I do not have the time to waste to prove a point that me among others have said in the past "WE ALL HAVE SEEN WATER LOGGED FLOATS ON FLUIDMASTERS"Yeah well you do that when you find the time. Maybe one day when I am not working I will go ahead and dig out a fluidmaster for you and have my daughter run the camera while I make a hole in the upper half of the cup and prove to you it can get water logged, with out taking the bottom half off. Sorry TM I can not make one super long video for you since I was solo on this job and holding a cell phone and trying to work on a water closet is a bit harder than I care for. So I concluded it was a water logged float, and tossed the whole valve and replaced it. I then held the float under water in the tank to see if there was a leak, and sure enough I started to get air bubbles, when I pulled the assembly out of the water you can see the water draining from the float again. It shows me removing the the fluidmaster and the float was full of water. ![]()
