When its right its right

Comments about Hydroright® Dual Flush Converter (HYR270):

I installed a HydroRight Dual flush valve in my toilet three days ago. Here's what I find about this device.First, In trying to adjust the "blue" water set tab, I could not adjust it low enough to get the "low flush" to fully flush whats in the bowl (one sheet of TP per the instructions). I have to hold the button down a little longer than what it seems I should have to. Secondly, if I use the "low flush". there isn't enough water left in the bowl to do a good "high flush" the next time the toilet requires a "high flush", so I have to flush again. I don't know if this is due to not having the tank fill valve(water level) adjusted correctly or what. I advice that you do not install this unit until you know how to adjust your fill valve or install a new fill valve unit. Thirdly, I find that the flush button shank isn't quite long enough to adequately stay engaged onto the control unit. If you tighten the holding nut to tightly (hand tight per the instructions) the engaging clips slip off the shank. It seems the toilet wall thickness may be a cause for this problem. The button also dis-engages if you should slightly twist the flush button from center. This isn't a bad thing as it prevents the shank from breaking but its inconvenient to have to be re-attaching the button to the control unit if it happens.

I hate to read manuals before I can install stuff. The manual took just two minutes to read and intallation was within five minutes. you can watch the savings in water by watching the short flush while your tank is open. It used just one third the water for short flush compared to the full flush, amazing. Just remember to tell your kids and guests the difference in the two buttons.

Great product, purchased one to try and used for 3 weeks. Purchased a second and I installed it myself. The husband installed the first one. Easy to do, just read the directions. Have recommended this to many others

I have already converted one of my toilets with the One 2 Flush kit and had no problems. I went with this one because it was cheaper and I didn't have to remove the tank. As stated by another review here, my tank had a lip around the sealing ring. I wouldn't stop leaking and causing the toilet to run. I used sealent in the tank to fix the leak and it still leaked. I will return this one and go with the One 2 Flush and save my time.

Great design, no need to remove tank as with other kits. Works pretty well on small flush, but does not always flush paper. Well worth the effort and price to install.

This is a great product. It took me about 1 minute to install and 5 minutes to calibrate. I do have a newer toilet so I don't know how it would work on older models. But I am saving a ton of water, and it is a great conversation piece during parties. A great cheap way to be a little greener!

Rarely, the paper won't go down when pressing the #1 button. Other than that, it works like a charm and I hope to save lots of money on water in the future!

This product is saving us tons of water in our main floor bathroom (even when using the "Full Flush" mode). However, installation can be tricky. Our toilet's original overflow pipe had vertical tapered ribs along its bottom half, making it difficult to get the Hydrofit seated/sealed properly. I even cut/shaved off the ribs. Since the toilet was over 6 years old and needed new seals, I purchased a new flush valve kit (approx $12.50). Before installing the new overflow pipe inside the tank, I attached the Hydrofit directly onto the overflow pipe to guarentee a secure fit. The top two thirds of the Hydrofit's housing easily detaches (with a half turn), allowing me inspect the fit/seal from its inside.
