Have any of you tried this? I got one and was a little puzzled about
the installation. When I put the outlet tube down into the overflow
tube it caused a siphoning action that lowered the level in the tank
which caused the refill valve to open briefly about every ten minutes.
I relocated the outlet tube so it just barely enters the overflow tube
and it seems to work better. The instructions don't cover this and
there is no contact phone number to call. Does my solution sound right?

And it will most likely ruin your flapper valve in short order causing
your toilet to leak 50 gallons a day.


The cleaner doesn't go in to the tank. It goes directly in to the bowl via
the "overflow" tube which also is the fill tube. Fluidmasters cleaner is
based off the same principal, never goes in to the tank.
