Great idea. I I just attached a pole to an old fishing rod and it did the trick! Same idea with the weights.

Your video helped me answer the one question I couldnt answer trying to do this at work. The tubing, otherwise I had the same idea but couldn't figure out how to get it over the pulley so thanks for that... This idea works great if your pulley system up top is stationary. We have a flag pole that has a rotating base for the pulleys so that the flag doesn't get caught up in the wind. Needless to say, after about 2 days about an hour and a half each I still can't get this to work, because as soon as I get the tubing partially into the pulley, the whole pulley base rotates away. I unfortunately had to give up.

This no longer works. Fluid Master has sealed both ends of the cartridge and you can no longer get into it. I have tried.

I use those “Polident” denture cleaning tablets or cleaning and deodorizing the toilet: just drop one or two directly into the toilet bowl before going to bed and flush in the morning. I wonder if those would work in this system for inside the tank?? They’re definitely small enough that I think would fit that tube and do not have an overpowering smell.

Thanks a lot for your video. This is exactly what I was looking for. I thought that with by including the piece of black 3:36 foam in the replacements were a ripoff. I’m on my way to buy the tablets. Thanks again.

One of my fondest sayings is “Where There’s A Will, There’s A Way!” I removed my pole, it’s the sleeve kind and replaced the lanyard. It also allowed me to clean out the wasp nest inside the head.

Thank you for this. I have a 25' extension pole and skipped the fishing line, used string. Didn't have any tubing, so I used a bendy straw. Like threading a needle 25' high, but I did it. Sinker got stuck and was able to lower the pole to the ground. Cut the string to about 60'. Put a tiny artist brush in the straw and taped it. Back up to the pulley with the pole and pushed the sinker through. Jiggled the string until it dropped down a little bit. Bent the straw to make a hook and pulled the sinker down. Tied the string to both pulleys so it worked like I could raise a flag. Taped the new rope to the string and got it on. Worked like a charm. Took a little while and patience, But got it done. If my nosy neighbor didn't keep interrupting me and breaking my cookies, could have got it done quicker. Thanks again !!

Your video is very good and help me get A new roof on a large flow pool that I could not take down it worked perfectly thank you

Shut up boy.

Thanks for putting this video up it’ll be a great help

Right on that is great I want to try something different that's right you can do it yourself make sure somebody's around with the ladder nice job!

I cut bottom section of cartridge off, load chunks of toilet cleaner into the housing and secure the cartridge lid back on.

Good idea… might try this when I run out of refills. I bought a half dozen fluidmaster for $2.60 on Amazon . 80% off. Not sure if it was a mistake, but I cashed in on it.

Thank you

Bostonian? Love your accent. 💜 Thank you for this vid.

Awesome plan! Worked perfectly, first shot! I used a 12' extension pole, ¼" plastic tubing, fishing line and a couple of small nuts tied to the end. I have a 24' flag pole, set up a 6' step ladder and strung up in a few minutes. Thank for posting this.

Absolutely worked!! Thanks so much!!

Thanks for this tip. I used it with some modification because my flagpole didn't have a pulley. A small ring was welded to the side of the flag pole. I used a gold ball retriever as my rod with the plastic tubing on the end. It took a while to get the correct size sinkers that worked. The first ones I tried were to large to go through the ring. The next one tried were too small to pull down the fishing line. Finally got the correct size and it all worked fine.

Thanks for the great idea! I've got the fishing line on the flagpole, but it's not in the center track of the pulley buy rather sliding on the pulley axle. I've tried attaching the flagpole rope to the fishing line, but the rope won't go through onto the pulley track either. Anyone have any ideas to pull the rope onto the pulley track?? Thanks!

grande, Macgiver idea gracias

what a fucken rip off!!

Thank you so much! Recently the halyard on our 20 foot flagpole broke and completely fell to the ground. Using your idea, we attached two 10-foot plastic conduits together and securely taped thin flexible tubing to the end of it just like you did. Then, we ran some fishing line through the tubing and attached a couple of small heavy metal washers to it. Next, we raised the conduit up while holding onto the fishing line against the conduit at the bottom. We were able to gently slide the thin flexible tubing into the small space above the flagpole pulley and between the truck. With a little jiggling the metal washers fell over the pulley and out the backside of the truck and we slowly lowered them to the ground. We were then able to hoist up a new halyard using the fishing line. It took us a bit of time but this method works great. Thanks again!!

Wow! I love the product. NOW EVEN MORE! Thanks!!

I can find the blue and white chlorine tablets at my local Dollar Tree or 99¢ Only Stores for $1 in a package of 3 per package. Y'all can probably find the same deal in your areas.

Thank you

Yo Kat, great video / info - thanks brother

all you really gotta do is cut your old rope and tape it to the new rope and pull it thru

Excellent hack!!! I'm doing it just like this! Thanks brother!

Does anyone know the size of the rubber o-ring seals? They break after one refill.

Great, thanks for the info.

Great ideal! However, if you buy the Kaboom toilet cleaning system you don't have to break open any cartridge. Kaboom doesn't have cartridges. It has an open tank that you put the Kaboom tablets in. You can break up a chlorine tablet like this guy and use it or use Soft Scrub In-Tank Toilet Cleaner Duo-Cubes or balls out of a soft scrub toilet bowl hanger and place them in the Kaboom tank. Good luck... The Kaboom system works well!!!

This worked for me to replace the halyard on our 25' flagpole! Really appreciate the video and instructions. Saved me $150!!!!

Lets see if I can attach the 1" GLB tablets that will fit perfect in this cartridge. The Neverscrub only can take 2 tablets I believe sabretooth said 6 months ago. I found using a steak knife made it easier to pry the bottom off then the screw driver. After working around the lid, I use a pair of pliers to wiggle the cap off. I took pictures but don't know how to upload them. Sorry.

Thanks so much!

Good tip. If you used a horizontal format it would fit better on computer screens.

Nice ! ... just remember to wash your hands of the chlorine tablet dust, or wear gloves when handling. :)

Thank you for your video i try it at work with a 30 foot flag pole and with a lot of patients it work.

Thank you.

Better Video than the others. Cheaper refills.

Thank you! Will try your method.

Where can one get a replacement red rubber seal ??

Easier to buy a Never Scrub cartridge system. The bottom of those cartridges just pop off so you can put in two 1 inch Bromine tablets or cut up a Scrubbing Bubbles 2 inch disc in quarters and shove it in for blue water.

Brilliant. BTW, Does your car have smaht pakh?

You're my HERO!! 💕

Thank you!!! This totally happened to us, new rope in house when old rope broke due to heavy winds. Will try your method!

I’m going to try this hack! The Fluidmaster cartridges don’t seem to last as long as the are supposed to anymore.

I did this yesterday with fishing line and small lead sinkers. Worked great, thank you for the idea.

My 25 foot flagpole rope broke in a serious wind storm this weekend. Used this same technique and it worked perfectly... with a little patience as well. Thanks!

Seriously brilliant idea. My grandmother has a flag pole that’s solid so besides cutting it down and redoing it, I had no options. I used a similar process to what you did after watching the video and it worked perfectly. Took me only like 15 minutes and my grandma couldn’t be happier.

Genius :-)
