Danco HyrdroRight Water-Saving Toilet Tank Repair Kit with Dual Flush Valve, Includes Dual Push Button Handle in Chrome, (HYR460)

This is my second one. The first one was installed nearly 5 years ago. When the flow valve on an upstairs toilet failed, there was no question about which one I would replace it with. We've been very satisfied. The flow valve used on the first installation has worked flawlessly. The flush valve has worked well, too. In these five years, it started to leak once. It took me less than a minute to clean and reseat. That's less maintenance than with a flapper. The flow valve itself is easy to install. You might have to make customizations for the tube that goes in the bottom of the tank. The tube works well to keep the tank clean, BTW. Just ensure you trim from the valve end, if it is necessary to shorten it. The dual flush button was a pain to get working correctly due to its proximity to the flow valve. The toilet is small, and it is a lot to pack it all in there. Adjustments here and there are necessary to make it work. Once you figure out which orientation works, the installation of the flush valve is easy. It's necessary to take time to calibrate the system to make it function properly. You might have to adjust the fill level to make it all work, but once everything works properly, it maintains the setup and works very well. The first one had the issue that the tank would fill, then at some random time, it would start again for a few seconds. It didn't seem to be leaking. Perhaps it doesn't have enough hysteresis built into the valve and the slightest vibration can set it off again. It would only do it once. For unknown reasons, it stopped doing it. It's well worth the price not to have to deal with flappers, and it saves money to boot. It's more robust than a flapper system, and I am more confident that it leaks less, if at all.

Have now had installed for 6 months in one case and 2 months in two others. Working just fine. One advantage to these systems is the white slide mechanism on the filler tube. You can slide that so that it will not refill after flushing. This is a big help if have to adjust the replacement for the flapper value but even bigger help when wanting to clean the toilet bowl. Can slide to stop flow, flush using the liquids flush button and then with the bowl nearly empty can clean the bowl thoroughly. Then release the slide and bowl refills normally. Big help vs turning the water off at the valve. Same is true if going on vacation or away for weekend and want to prevent possible toilet overflow as mentioned below. Features not mentioned in other reviews I have seen on the product but a big plus for it. This us update to earlier note. I have now installed three of these systems. The only issue I had was getting the flapper replacement installed so it did not leak. But once that problem was solved the system works great. One item I have not seen noted but important to me is that you can slide a white slide on the arm of the filler mechanism to lock it in place. Very useful if going on vacation or even away for weekend as it could prevent a toilet from overflowing as friends had happen a few years ago with major damage. Beats turning water off to the whole house as the major risk is from the toilets. System worth it just for this! Also when checking for leak you can mark level with pencil and lock the filler and then go back in a few hours and see if level has dropped. Likewise if you have to adjust the flapper replacement it is easy to do by locking the filler when water level is low and then twisting the large part off of the flapper replacement and adjusting to be sure no leak. After doing this can release to let water part way in and then lock again and mark so do not have to fill entire tank (or drain it). Thought these useful enough to pass along. I initially bought each of these separately so my review of the filler valve and the dual flush valve are under the individual parts except that I am only adding the comments above to the entire system link. I have replaced the innards of toilets numerous times over the years and found this system very easy to install. Only caution I would pass along is to read the directions and the warnings with some care before you attempt installation. I have for years used bleach tablets in the tanks and I note that they warn not to do this with their system. Each part of the installation has some simple instructions but important to read them to save yourself a lot of frustration. When I first installed the dual flush I did not follow instructions to put water over the seating valve and mark with pencil and let sit 15 minutes to be sure it was seated. As a result I had to go back and redo the installation. Once you have done an installation for one toilet doing others will be extremely easy. So far system is working very well but I plan to wait a couple of months before buying more and installing in my other toilets. If this works as well as I hope I will be using these from now on. Especially attractive to me is replacement of flapper valve and those of us with hard water tend to find build up of sediment and lime allows leaking of the flapper over time which can waste a great deal of water from a very slow leak that you may not realize is occurring. If I find problems with the units after installed a while I will come back and revise this review. As of now I can recommend this unit both for ease of installation and how well they are operating so far. Some of the problems I have seen in other reviews have yet to show up for me. If they do I will edit this review.

Good product for an old toilet repair. Since it provides a new seal mechanism for the tank, you don't need to remove the tank to replace the bottom flapper seal, i.e., the unit provides a self-contained gasket within the kit. The two button flush is a nice touch but the water saver button doesn't really work with an old toilet that always requires a full flush. Still nice for toilet cleaning and using less water. The fill hose is not very well designed as it is flexible and will not lay down on the bottom of the tank as envisioned. I ended up using a rock to weigh it down so it stayed in place. A good design idea, but does not work as designed. Without the rock holding the fill tube in place at the bottom of the tank, it will lift up and spray water all over. I tried bending the hose to take the kinks out but had no success. The rock work well enough and maybe the tube will become more rigid and stay in place by itself over time. I guess you could also turn the water supply line valve down to reduce pressure and increase the tank refill time.

I had some reservations about purchasing this product due to the negative reviews, but after having the unit installed in a 1987 American Standard for a few months I think I can safely say that if you are careful about following the instructions (and they are a little complex), you'll be happy with this purchase. $30 beats $250 for a new dual flush toilet, and you keep a hundred pounds of ceramic out of a landfill. I do have some advice to give to future purchasers of this device: First, read the instructions through once before you install the device. It's good policy for any installation, but these instructions really are at what I'd call the high end of a layman's capability. What's more, you really can't count on the manufacturer's support -- I made two calls on two separate days, during business hours, and was shunted to voicemail both times. I never received a call back. Fortunately I was able to resolve my problem myself (see "Third," below). Second, everything about setting this unit up requires /firm/ pressure, and nearly every part that moves in this device locks into or out of place with a loud snapping sound. You're going to think you've broken something at least once during installation and calibration. Don't let it scare you. Be careful, but don't be too gentle. Third, when you install the dual-flush converter, it comes with the blue float (which sets the quantity of water to use in a light flush) set to the highest point (the smallest possible amount of water). As part of the calibration process, the instructions will tell you to test light-flush the toilet, moving the blue float downward each time until the bowl drains completely. What I discovered was that repeatedly light-flushing the toilet will cause a false positive result (a light flush will succeed when the blue float is still set too high), and then you won't get successful light flushes later, which can be frustrating (and gross). I found that test light-flushing the toilet gave me false successful light flushes only four clicks from the highest setting, but to get consistent successful flushing over a period of days, I needed to be about five clicks from the lowest setting. This is still a lot less water than is used for a full flush! What I recommend is this: 1) Install and calibrate the device according to the instructions. 2) Press firmly down on the blue float until it reaches its lowest point (the largest possible amount of water). This will make a loud ratcheting noise; again, don't worry, you haven't broken anything. 3) Use the toilet normally for a day or two. 4) Once you've determined that the toilet always light-flushes successfully at this setting, pull the blue float up three clicks. 5) Repeat steps 2-4 until you start getting failed light flushes. 6) Press the blue float down one click. 7) Use the toilet normally for a day or two. 8) If you start getting failed light flushes, repeat steps 6 and 7 until you don't. 9) Rest easy knowing that your light flush is properly calibrated. Update: bought two more for the upstairs bathrooms! May 2014 Update: I've noticed that the supplied zip-tie securing the flush meter to the fill pipe has broken in all three of my installations, the last of which I performed only last year. I believe the rubber o-ring around the fill pipe is still keeping the gasket secure, so I don't think this is a major fault, but be advised that if you are performing a first-time installation you may want to replace the supplied zip-tie with a sturdier one you buy yourself. December 2014 Update: In the interest of full disclosure, because this review gets so much attention, one of my installations failed after about 26 months. My other two are still going strong, and I suspect it was not a defect in the device. We had one of these -- Kaboom with OxiClean Scrub Free! System-1 ct -- installed, and it appeared to be leaking highly concentrated cleaning solution into the tank. I think that what happened was the cleaning solution in the tank ate an internal seal in the flush valve, which is a thing that happens. You should never put cleaning solution of any kind in your toilet tank. The failure was slight, a very slow drip, but every time it dripped it made a loud pinging that resonated throughout the downstairs of the house. I could not correct it by manipulating the valve, so It had to go. Rather than install another one of these devices we decided 25 years was a good run and installed one of these: American Standard 2989.101.020 Concealed Trapway Cadet 3 Right Height Elongated Flowise 1.28 gpf Toilet with Seat, White . December 2017 update: My two remaining installations are still working perfectly, five and a half years later.

This unit leaked into bowl. Have this flusher on other toilet. Works great on other toilet. Truly saves water. Need to follow instructiond carefully or unit will not provide savings

Easy install but read the instructions. We replaced a similar unit from Danco but wasn't working anymore. This update has some changes/improvements. The biggest hiccup might be installing the gasket and making sure there's no leaks. I recommend installing the whole thing and then taking the top of the center unit off. manually fill the tank to near the top of the gasket and make sure there's no leaks. There should be no water dripping into the tank. Then attach the top with minimal movement to disturb the gasket. Our old unit lasted about 5 years - it wasn't stopping the water inflow even though the float was topped out. One can adjust the water level but it wasn't working. Let's hope this lasts about as long.

The good: Well, it works. It had all the pieces i needed to do the job outside of a different flapper specifically needed for my toilet. The not so good: The directions don't include a few key steps in getting it to work right. They tell you to adjust the screw but the main adjustment for the water level is the float that is adjustable. They mention it previously in the assembly steps but don't mention it in the troubleshooting. It really should be in the troubleshooting because the blue adjustment screw barely does anything. The "tank cleaner" hose quite frankly doesn't fit at all. I've tried 5 different times and had to cut it off each time it made it fray. It appears they didn't get the size right. The little puny zip tie they include is pretty funny. Like a joke part cuz it's not big enough for literally anyone. The button assembly isn't really designed well because it could easily interfere with the float. It should have been designed to be flush against the tank not stick out 2 1/2". If you're doing this on a Mansfield toilet (even though they say it's not compatible) you're going to need to replace your flush valve with a toilet flapper style flush valve. There's a review video where a someone shows they did it but doesn't tell you how. This also means you will need to remove the tank. Fluidmaster has a universal one k-507A 2" that fits well and includes new tank bolts. They're not brass like they should be (surprise, surprise they cheap out on the bolts). You'll need to use the white spacer included in the danco kit to get the distance from the overflow tube right. All-in-all it's decent. They probably should have installed it on a few toilets in the testing phase and revised it but it still works alright.

Blue Source HYR460 Toilet Repair Kit w/Dual Flush Converter by MJSI Great solution at an amazing price! My 1876 San Francisco Victorian has a small bathroom, converted from a pantry in the 1920's, complete with a cast iron claw foot tub and a toilet manufactured in 1962 . The date is pressed into the bottom of the tank lid. Previous owners installed homespun tricks to save water (bend the float handle, bricks, rocks, marbles and bottles of water). The inside of the tank was dirty and flush "performance" suffered. The choices were to find more tricks to save water or install a low flow toilet. When it comes to an old house, any change requires balancing authenticity and functionality with conformity to current codes. Plus, the bathroom floor was ceramic tile laid over two layers of hardwood, with a basement below. Replacing this old toilet meant opening the floor and replacing old sewer pipe connections. I kept procrastinating, and one day Amazon offered a solution. A few months ago, I ordered a toilet flapper and flush handle from Amazon. After that, my screen started displaying ads for the MJSI Hydro Right Dual Flush Converter Kit. (Imagine if Amazon got into the online dating biz. Buy with your Amazon Prime, overnight delivery and if not satisfied slap a label on and return.) The Amazon reviews for the kits had several cautions. 1. Verify tank height and width against MJSI requirements. 2. Check handle placement in relation to fill valve. 3. Install dual kit if the old toilet still has the antiquated ballcock configuration (mine did). After watching the MJSI website installation videos, I ordered the dual conversion kit. For my toilet, the anti-siphon fill valve was the more difficult of the two to install. It was a tight fit and the valve was almost too tall, but I had already measured. In addition, the old valve had been on there for over twenty years and removing the nasty plastic nut was tough. But the effort paid off because the new valve works great! One of the best features of the MJSI fill valve (why didn't someone think of this years ago?) is a white tab on the top of the valve. Slide this tab and the tank refill stops, eliminating the need to turn the water off at the toilet or to the whole house. This feature made installing, the Hydro Right conversion kit a breeze. Close the refill valve, flush the toilet, drain the tank, remove the old flapper and install the conversion unit. The entire process took less than 10 minutes, but I benefited from the experience of the Amazon reviewers before me. 1. Ensure the new valve seats securely before adding the conversion top (or have silicone sealant on hand just in case). The easiest way is pressing the silicone seal down into toilet outlet before installing the top and filling the tank fill with a few inches of water (the white slide tab came in handy). 2. The handle's plastic lead can be tricky. Try placing the unit at different angles to get the best fit. (The company video assumes a handle on the side.) 3. Perform a dry run (so to speak) with everything in the tank before finalizing the install. It took two tries to get the seal fitted correctly, and the unit worked perfectly from then on. Immediately, I noticed the Hydro Right shot a stronger stream of water into the bowl, clearing liquid and solid wastes. Both units are made of lightweight plastic and almost feel cheap. But they sit inside of a water tank where plastic works better. This is an amazing piece of technology! BlueSource HYR460 Total Toilet Repair Kit with Dual Flush Converter by MJSI

Es un excelente producto. Funciona tal cual está indicado. En mi caso, el sapo de la descarga se atoraba y no regresaba a tapar la descarga, lo cual generaba una fuga de agua muy considerable y por lo mismo, un consumo de agua mayor (+ $$$$ pagada al servicio municipal de agua potable y alcantarillado). Se puede instalar en cualquier depósito, no se requiere que sea nuevo o que este preparado para este tipo de válvulas. Este es el 2do juego de baño que instalo. En ambos casos la instalación fue super sencilla y no requerí herramienta (solo para quitar la manguera de la tubería al deposito). En la 1er instalación me lleve aproximadamente 45 minutos. Ya en esta última fueron máximo 15 minutos. Los materiales de primera calidad y no se requiere desensamblar el tanque al inodoro pues ocupa la misma descarga. Recomiendo que lean bien las instrucciones de instalación y se familiaricen con las piezas. Si he observado una disminución del consumo de agua a raíz de la instalación y uso de este sistema. Inclusive hasta la sensación de desperdiciar agua de mas en cada descarga se ve reducida.

Makes my ordinary toilet from 1988 like a complete new toilet dual flusher for $170 available at the hardware store now. This kit is not available in Calgary Canada hardware stores in January 2015. Maybe after a big mark-up next year. Fit great and works ░▒▓█▀▄▀ ◆ A ◆ W ◆ E ◆ S ◆ O ◆ M ◆ E ◆ ▄▀▄█▓▒░. Says no tools needed but what about the removal of the old hardware? Someone didn't think outside their box on that one. LOL Instructions show a picture of old hardware with an arrow caption that says "Remove old toilet fill valve". Just a pair of channel locks and a pair of scissors and you're all set. Make sure the inlet float valve is adjusted for the very top of your tank lid or will not operate properly. I was just half an inch too low and it bunged up. Can not adjust after you tighten it up so this is step one and the most important step. Other wise you dump more water on the floor on your second attempt. This is allowed for but don't over tighten because breaking the plastic nut auto adjustment tabs might just make the second attempt more difficult. These tabs are designed to break off if you over Solomon Grundy them. Adjustments for small flushes takes a little experimentation. All parts are made of 100% real plastic. Don't settle for less, buy authentic genuine plastic.

Si lo pones bien, trabaja muy bien, si hay unas asustes y me olvidé poner una cosa pero lo poni después y trabaja mejor. Yo lo recomendó.

Leaks if you don't install it correctly but is easy enough to fix. Just spin the valve round on the exit point and press down until you get a good seal. After that, no phantom flushes or water loss. I am not a plumber and I got it installed without a problem.

Por el precio muy bien funciona bien hasta ahora
