The other problem is that, it seems to me, the water level within the
bowl is not what it was when the original SmartValve was in use. I
think the water valve is closing too soon. I also notice that the
water does not flow through the flexible tube into the overflow
stack. Adjustment of the Fluidmaster "Water Level Adjustment"
plastic screw does not help to raise the water level within the tank
to the level that it was when the original SmartValve was installed.

Any suggestions?

BobJ:

Thanks for the info. The .pdf instrux helps a great deal. It turns out
that I did not do the float height adjustment. I will have to take it
apart and do that now. Too bad that AmericanStandard did not include any
instrux.

Looking at the original SmartValve, I am unable to turn the height
adjustment. Is there a locking mechanism that must be undone ?

Should there be waterflow through the flexible tube into the ?Overflow?
stack at the end of the fill cycle ? I think that that would flow into
the bowl until the Fluidmaster valve closes off.

I'm (almost) sure that these item are in the printed (pdf) instructions, but
if not:

There is no locking mechanism. You need to turn it harder. Make sure you
hold the bottom of the tube firmly when you turn the top.

Yes, the flexible tube should go into the overflow tube. There is a clip
that should hold it in place.
