Product Description
The HydroRight Dual Flush Valve quickly and easily converts a standard toilet into a two-button, dual flush toilet saving a family of four more than 15,000 gallons of water per year by providing a choice between a full or reduced flush. One button is the Quick Flush setting that uses significantly lowers water volumes for liquids and paper - the setting needed 4 out of 5 times. The second Full Flush button uses the normal amount of water for solids. Designed for drop-in installation, the HydroRight is the only converter that can be installed in without tools and without having to remove the tank. The HYR270 replaces the flapper, chain and handle, therefore eliminating most common toilet problems.

MJSI's HydroRight dual-flush converter easily and inexpensively transforms your standard toilet into a water- and money-saving appliance (view larger).Saving Water and Money
Central to dual-flush technology is the water savings that can be realized by a quick-flush setting using lower water volumes for liquids and paper. A second, full-flush setting uses the standard amount of water for solids. Industry experts agree that four out of five flushes require only the amount of water used in the quick-flush setting—meaning 80 percent of flushes waste money and water on all toilets that are not dual flush. An independent study found that the HydroRight showed average water savings of 30 percent, with some instances reaching up to 50 percent. Not only does the HydroRight help to preserve natural resources, it also proves to be more economical than purchasing an entirely new dual-flush toilet, which can cost upward of several hundred dollars.
The Case for Dual-Flush Technology
Arriving first as dual-flush toilets, more recent plumbing innovation has produced dual-flush converters that retrofit existing toilets into dual-flush systems. The HydroRight converter includes a two-button handle that gives users the ability to select the amount of water being used during the flush: the quick flush for liquids and paper and the full flush for solids. Adjusting the water flow for both flushes is quickly and easily done inside the tank thanks to the HydroRight. In addition, because the HydroRight’s dome gasket sits in the drain hole rather than a flapper, problems associated with flappers—like leaks and broken or tangled chains—are eliminated. The USEPA estimates that 20 percent of all toilets leak up to 200 gallons of water a day (the equivalent of 73,000 gallons a year), mostly because of faulty flappers. Not with the HydroRight: To install, remove the old flapper and handle, slide dual flush down the overflow tube inside your tank and tighten, and replace the handle with button and set the quick-flush amount. No more jiggling the handle to flush properly.

Customers are mixed about the water consumption of the valve. Some mention that it has worked great and saves water, while others say that it inevitably wastes water on the full flush. The overflow tube and the toilet bowl doesn't get enough water to reach its designed water level. The low-flush cycle because the water level is not sufficient to allow adjustment of the.

Customers are mixed about the flushability of the valve. Some mention that the full flush worked pretty well, while others say that it didn't fill the bowl up to the 100% mark. The dual flush is useful in that you don't have to use the full cistern to create a tight seal and give you half flushes. However, it's easy to choose between the full and partial flush, but some say that the dual flush doesn't work at all unless they hold the lever/button. The flow is also restricted by the limited clearance the water has when the valve is in use.
"...But just getting dual flush to work is easy enough. You don't need to be a toilet 'power user.'..." Read more
"...several days of monitoring, it became evident that the second toilet was "ghost flushing", i.e., the tank would very slowly drain past the seal at..." Read more
"...The "full" flush worked pretty well, except it didn't fill the bowl up to the 100% mark. I never did figure out how to get it to fill to 100%...." Read more
"...FIRST: THE LOW-FLUSH FEATURE ISN'T WORKING FOR YOUAgain, I totally agree - the instructions aren't clear...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the quality of the valve. Some mention it's well-designed and well-made, while others say that it'll last a long time. The lever handle is plastic and weak, and it broke off.
"...It could be an optional extra. Otherwise, I think the plastic will chip or wear out eventually, and it will look ugly...." Read more
"...'s one of the few readily-available dual-flush conversions, and IME, they last, and it's cheaper than replacing your whole tank." Read more
"...It's a bad design, almost a defect (it needs to be larger & sturdier)...." Read more
"...Always wanting to save water, this is the perfect solution for the toilets...." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the leaking of the valve. They mention that the seal is not good, causing the tank level to drop and waste water. Some customers also mention that it starts to leak and drip water after a week or so.
"...that this same toilet was doing this before; that is, the old flapper didn't seal well either and once the water level in the tank drops a couple..." Read more
"...This company knows that their gasket is too thin, causes leaks, and that including a higher grade gasket would cost them very little..." Read more
"...now, and it looks a little funny with the cover off, but it seems to have sealed well. I am not blaming the manufacturer for this difficulty...." Read more
"...If the zip strap isn't tight enough it creeps up and leaks. May be better to use a hose clamp if you have room to install one...." Read more
Customers dislike the button. They say that the flush buttons are a little hard to push, the lever is easy, but the button requires so much pressure that it's a bit inconvenient to use. The dual-flush button is a tad awkward to see for the uninitiated, and the button is hidden behind the seat cover when the seat is up. They also mention that the push button does not move easily if not hit in the exact center, and it' s kind of an ugly chromed plastic button.
"...Lastly, it's kind of an ugly chromed plastic button. Seems a lot of folks prefer the dual-lever version of this...." Read more
"...I did find it slightly difficult to push the smaller reduced flush button, but there again because of my weak wrist and also a previously broken..." Read more
"...The hydroright system is tilted now, and it looks a little funny with the cover off, but it seems to have sealed well...." Read more
"...They do require quite a bit of pressure, and the Number 1 button is a lot smaller than the Number 2 button, so it's even harder for them to push...." Read more

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I had no problem here.
Read the directions and look at the parts and your tank so you know what will fit where before starting. It is not that confusing but it makes sense to know what you will be doing instead of reading each step for the first time as you go.
Install was easy, I found the directions easy to follow. There was no need to shut off the water, especially since my value leaks when turned and it is perfect, not leaking, where it is set so I didn't want to mess with that. What I did was remove the tank top. Flush to empty the water out. Then I wedged a something under the arm on the refill float to hold the arm up so it would not keep running while working, although it appears you can do this without that, but you do waste some water while working. Remove the old handle and flush arm. Remove the old flapper. Stick the new Dual Flush Converter in place of where the flapper was. There is a piece at the back that fits around the drain tube with a wedge type fitting to hold it down, rather easy to insert. Screw in the top section of that mechanism. Stick the new flush button in the hole. Test out a few times adjusting as shown in the directions. The new mechanism fit easliy in the flapper hole and was not at all difficult to place there. The only tool I needed was a pair of slip joint pliers to loosen the old handle and nut and put the new nut in place, only because I have a weak left wrist.
I would say it took about 15-30 minutes total, i was not trying to set any records. All in all it was much easier than I anticipated. I didn't even get wet or have to mop up when done !
Not that I really needed to conserve water, I live at the beach and we're only in trouble here of a shortage if the Atlantic Ocean dies up. Although we sometimes have flooding so reducing the amount of water flushed certainly won't hurt on stormy days and be easier on the drain field. Plus it might reduce my water bill some and in the long run pay for itself. It won't make much difference for me, a single person, but i'm sure it would make a bigger difference for a larger family. I only really got this because it sounded like a neato gadget to have.
What I like is the kwickness of the reduced flush and fill. It gets the job done. I guess it uses about 1/3rd of a full flush. It certainly does not hurt to conserve when possible.
All you need to get used to is pushing the top less than half the button in, unless you need a full flush where you push oth parts in. Then also it is push and not flip the hanlde. But that comes quickly and you wonder why you didn't have this earlier.
I did find it slightly difficult to push the smaller reduced flush button, but there again because of my weak wrist and also a previously broken finger on that same hand and unfortunately it is easier for me to use that hand than my other fully good one. I found it easier to do by using my middle two fingers, not counting the thumb, instead of one finger. Once I figured that out it is not a problem.
Also, as others have said, depending on the age and configuration of your toilet (i.e., if it has a traditional ball float valve) you may need a new valve. I've used both the Danco valve included with the retrofit kit (not this product, but includes it in the kit), and and float less valves.
Installation is super easy as a DIY project and the instructions are pretty straightforward as far as getting the thing into the toilet tank and running. Where I'd dock points is the explanations on optimizing water use, which they base on measuring the existing water levels in the tank and bowl. It's not hard to figure out, but directions are unclear. But just getting dual flush to work is easy enough. You don't need to be a toilet 'power user.'
The other drawbacks: the pushbutton action and the button itself. Since the button lifts a valve fighting the weight of the water in the tank via cable pull, it takes a pretty heavy push compared to my purpose-built dual-flush toilet.
Second, the button does not play nice with lever holes that aren't squarely on the front or side of the tank. On one installation where the lever was located at the corner, I had to shim it out with a stack of washers and it looks strange.
Lastly, it's kind of an ugly chromed plastic button. Seems a lot of folks prefer the dual-lever version of this. It's a tall ask but I wish they had a choice of buttons to match bathroom decor.
All in all, it's one of the few readily-available dual-flush conversions, and IME, they last, and it's cheaper than replacing your whole tank.

Install is super easy and fixed the issue with the old one - water had worn away the seal on the bottom so the toilet would keep running.
