Dual Flush conversion kit
Hi,
Just a curious question Does it work pretty good or is wasted time. Any one installed one and using it? Comments/suggestions? Good one, bad one? |

The HandyGuys did a podcast on these a while ago. You can probably access it at their website. If you are one of those who feels if it doesn't pay back quickly it's not worth doing then don't bother....it will never pay back if you have city water. Especially if you already have low-flush toilets. If you see benefit in reducing water use even if it doesn't save you money directly, then go for it. And if you are on well/septic, then it reduces the load on both of those. I plan to install these when my existing flush valves need to be replaced. Paul F. |

But the problem is that the toilet wasn't designed for low flow, so about 1/3 of the time,we have to use full flush, or repeat the low flush. In my case it was a waste of money (which is what I'm good at), although it saves some water when it works. -- Best regards Han email address is invalid |

Hi, In the house there are 4 bathrooms and only main one has Toto toilet which does a good job. I am good at wasting time and money some times, LOL. I am going to try one since one flapper needs a replacement. We(two of us) consume about 20 tons of water a month. |

My dual flush kit didn't do anything with the flapper ... -- Best regards Han email address is invalid |

: Hi, Just a curious question Does it work pretty good or is wasted time. Any one installed one and using it? Comments/suggestions? Good one, bad one? I Installed one. It works. What it saves, I can't speak for. The tank I installed it in had a ball float. Had to change it to a Fluidmaster. No big deal. The instructions mentioned that might happen. They say you need one of their HydroClean or HydroWorks fill valves. Plain old Fluidmaster worked fine. Nothing about it on the box...of course. Here's the installation doc: http://www.gomjsi.com/uploads/produc...terInstall.pdf |
