 HydroRight Dual Flush is Right After All July 27, 2010
Greg L. Sahlstrom
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
There are many reviews of the Dual Flush device called HydroRight that are quite mistaken in their evaluation. Let me explain why.
The device was easy to install and seems quite well made. There were only two problems that had to be resolved. The first one was that I had to replace the fill valve, as I had an old fashioned float type. I installed the HydroClean, by the same company that makes the HydroRight Dual Flush device. THe HydroClean has two advantages: (1) It lets you adjust the water level in the toilet bowl so that you save water by not over filling the bowl and having the excess run down the drain pipe. Also (2) it has water jets that keep sediment from settling in the tank (for a cleaner tank). It also puts on a good effervescent water show if you open the tank and take a look. Neat.
Then there was another difficulty to be resolved. The #1 (liquid) setting didn't adequately remove the liquid waste (I used coffee for testing purposes). The people at HydroRight suggested raising the water level in the tank a half inch or so, perhaps by sticking a piece of pvc pipe on top of the flush valve (the tube thing that prevents the tank from over flowing). At Lowes hardware I found a Korky Adjustable Flush Valve (that lets you adjust the overflow tube to between 7 1/2" and 11". Installation was easy (though it did involve removing the tank). It came with more bolts and nuts and washers than were needed (imagine that!) so that you can attach the bolts to the tank (with a set of rubber washers, bolts, metal washers and nuts) before attaching the tank to the toilet with another set of rubber washers, metal washers and nuts. That made adjustments much easier than having only one pair of metal washers and nuts. With the tank secured to the toilet, I installed the HydroClean Flush Valve and adjusted it so that the water level in the tank would be about 1 1/2" to 1" above the usual water line. I then installed the HydroRight (the rubber ring and white cam adjuster were not needed with this flush valve). The only complication was that I had to use a sharp blade to get the zip tie to release (so that I could reuse it - there is an extra one in the package if you end up cutting the zip tie). That is because the HydroClean tube is thicker and so doesn't need the cam, and the adjustable ring on the top of its tube would prevent use of the rubber ring. They were not needed. I adjusted the HydroRight's green full flush adjustment all the way to the top.
Wow! There was lots more pressure and both #1 & #2 settings flushed just fine. Now, it has been suggested that with the higher water level, you would waste more water for the "full flush". That isn't actually true. With the green slide all the way to the top (and the blue float adjusted to about 1/2 inch below the surface of the water in the tanks) you have more water pressure, but the tank doesn't actually empty all the way. I have a couple of inches of water left when the full flush is used. So, no water wasted. Everything works great. The contractors grade Briggs toilets in my home, that have never flushed well, now for the first time flush great!MJSI HYR270 HydroRight Drop-in Dual Flush ConverterMJSI HC660 HydroClean Water-Saving Toilet Fill Valve with Cleaning Tube

The HydroRight Dual Flush convertor paired with a model 660 HydroClean float make a very good reasonably priced water conservation system & a good substitute for purchasing a new toilet. Once we got the system working, jt does all that the sales brochures advertise.
The only addition I would suggest is substituting a common 1 5/8" diameter hose clamp to secure the HydroRight mechanism to the overflow pipe
in place of the plastic ty-wrap providedhe ty-wrap doesn't hold in place securely enough & the assemble slides up enough over time, breaking the seal at the flush valve. The tank cleaning system is simple & eorks very well to keep the tank clean also
Works great November 23, 2009

Works great. Took about 15-20 minutes from start to finish. I would highly recommend. In fact I will be ordering another for the guest bathroom.
As easy as advertised. February 15, 2010

I was a little skeptical, so I purchased one of these about a month ago. From the time that I opened the packaging to first flush with the new unit took about 15 minutes. It is very easy to install and I can see the difference in the amount of water used (1/2 tank vs whole tank). It took about a week to get used to the 2 button system, but after that, I was convinced. My second unit arrived a couple of days ago and I am installing it tonight!

MJSI HYR270 Dual Flush Converter
The installation was just as easy as advertised. No need to spend a lot of money to remove and replace my existing porcelain, water line and wax seal to save water. I adjusted the HYR270 per the enclosed instruction sheet and started saving immediately. Even the grand kids love them.
