MJSI HYR270 HydroRight Drop-in Dual Flush Converter

by MJSI, Inc.

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Winner of multiple awards for product innovation, the hydroright dual flush converter quickly and easily turns your toilet into a water-saving two-button toilet. The quick flush setting for liquids and paper reduces the amount of water used by up to 70% for liquids and paper, saving a family of four an estimated 15,000-Gallon of water and approximately 105 per year. Unlike other dual flush converters, the hydroright can be installed in less than ten minutes, without tools and without having to remove the tank. Because dual flush converters do not fit in every toilet, here are the exceptions you should know about before you buy: if you have a mansfield toilet, you will also have to purchase a standard flush valve. Your toilet tank must have at least 10-Inch height clearance(distance from where the flapper currently seats to lid bottom must be 10-Inch or more) for the hydroright to fit and work. The hydroright replaces only standard size flappers, the flush opening from tank to bowl should be 2-Inch to 2-1/2-Inch in diameter(this is the hole the flapper covers: some newer toilets have 3-Inch flush opening, hydroright does not work in 3-Inch flush or larger toilets). If the hydroright is installed in a toilet with an old ballcock, the arm of the ballcock may hit the hydroright and not work properly. In some cases, the hydroright can be turned to compensate. In other cases, purchasing a hydroclean or other pilot style fill valve may be required. MJSI, Inc., headquartered in Shorewood, IL is the manufacturer of the hydroworks portfolio of products that are devoted to water conservation, earth preservation and sound environmental plumbing. Recognized as toilet efficiency experts, MJSI's innovation has expanded the plumbing market from repairs to green toilet improvement.

I ordered this for the obvious reason to save water. As a male gets older, he needs to do the "liquid" flush more often.
It's important to heed what they say for tank clearance...ours barely made it! But with EXCELLENT customer support, (I was able to speak to the inventor himself), they were able to walk me through the adjustments.....Problem is, it didn't work on the small flush....my old water valve would not allow the tank to fill enough to do the job. I was advised to order their HydroClean water valve ($9.00+s & h), which is adjustable, so you can raise the level of the water in the tank to work the short flush.....this means you'll use a little more water on the long flush, but most of us don't use that that often. I only ordered one of the water valves because I wanted to make sure it would all work.....and IT REALLY DOES!!!!
The bottom line here is that, with their customer support (who all spoke perfect English, located in Illinois) were so great and helped me work through the problems. I installed the HydroRight on both toilets and have a HydrClean on order for the 2nd one.
I highly recommend the product.
PS. The people that wrote about their problems, most likely did not let the product support people help them.

I did not pay attention to this detail: the HydroRight Dual Flush is not compatible with ballcock valves, so I had to replace the valve first (paid another $12 for each replacement, but it was my fault anyway). I bought two units for testing, replacing the master bath first, which I did in about 20 minutes, including replacing the ballcock valve, no big deal. Adjustments were simple and quick. When I installed the second unit in another bathroom, I noticed the tank was leaking water slowly through the overflow tube, something I had not noticed when the original ballcock was in. It took me a while, but I was able to track the problem down to a crack at the bottom of the overflow tube, which I had to replace, but the problem was completely solved. Thanks to this decision to 'go green', my water savings will be even better than I had originally anticipated. Now I am buying another one for the last toilet at the house.

Had high hopes for these units. Easy to install, but even when I put the single flush setting to its maximun, the unit would not flush enough water to clear urine from the bowl. If it had more extensive flushing adjustment, it would probably be fine. The flushing knob was also a bit on the cheesy side - plastic rather than metal. Vendor was very good about accepting the returned units though.
