All right, so the adjustment on this is right here at this screw. If you tighten that down, it's lowering the float. So the float'll turn itself off, or turn the water off before it reaches the overflow point. So it's overflowing right here into the toilet. OK, we'll turn the water back on, and it's stopped. Let's watch it flush. [sound of water running] So the water is filling up. [sound of water running] And we should hear it stop now. [water stops running] Perfect.
