KOHLER GENUINE GP1229656 Canister Repair Review

Problem: Yellow cap (labeled "Aqua Piston") cracked at base; As a result, the tank filled but the bowl didn't, and there was a risk of accidentally splashing more water. Fix: It took less than 2 minutes to replace the yellow cap and the stem it attaches to. Didn't even have to drain the tank completely; I just turned off the water and gave a full flush. Not sure why the chain is included in this kit as it wasn't needed but cheaper/easier than replacing the entire rig.

i only needed the top yellow piece which fell apart it was easy to replace on my kohler memoirs reservoir. I suggest taking this as a backup when the original seal on the yellow plug wears off and falls apart and water is sprayed in the tank. You'll be grateful - I hope I didn't jinx myself, black rod will fail! - Good product - Too bad they only sold the round yellow part of the seal.

Good replacement when the original one breaks. However, this glitch is also a warning sign of a possible problem with this one. I love the quick and efficient flush this ascending cylinder offers, an alternative to the usual raised rubber flap that allows water to enter from all sides rather than just one. However, relying on a few millimeters of plastic for the mechanism opens up the possibility of failure. And while the cost of that plastic part is a lot cheaper than a support call, it's…

While flushing our toilet, the flush handle suddenly started swinging all the way down, making an odd noise in the cistern. When I opened it up, there was a water hose (filling the tank) and a yellow cap dangling inside. It turns out that if someone flushes too hard, the yellow cap can crack, and you'll have to replace the entire inside of the flask. This is this product. Simply twist the existing inner piece counter-clockwise and lift up. Then replace it with a new one and put the yellow cap…

After the little yellow cover came loose from our original unit, I was disappointed that I couldn't find this one piece. Everyone seemed to think it was acceptable to pay around $20 if I needed an item under $1. Frustrated, I just kept fixing the toilet, probably a waste of precious water (I live in the desert). Searching again I finally found this kit for about $7 and was happy to find a way to replace what I needed without the extras. Installation was easy. If you can follow the diagrams…
