Re: [DIY] Water leaking from bottom of toilet tank

If I remember correctly, pushing the cup down and turning it is what you need to do to install the device (I'm not sure if NOT pushing/turning the cup prohibits the water level screw from being turned). Once that is complete you can adjust the water level in the tank by turning the knob/screw that you see on the little arm. It clicks with each twist and does not move freely like a loose knob or screw. I remember having to give it more force (with the hand, not screwdriver) than I would have expected it needed.

I think the water saver feature is basically the blue roller clamp type feature on the tube between the cup mechanism and the overflow tube.

This is assuming you have the basic model that you find at the box stores.

In the instructions, it says push down the black cup and turn clockwise to lock it. Does this have to do with turning the screw? I did not do this step.

Now my tank is only a little more than half filled. But it's supposed to be a water saver thing. The good thing is it does flush OK.
