Danco HFX120 Anti-Siphon Toilet Tank Repair Kit

I needed a new float valve for my toilet since my old wouldn't shut off completely, so it would just trickle water down the overflow. I chose this one because it was cheap and offered so much.It fills the tank with great flow, which helps the flushing pressure, and the added jets keep stuff from settling at the bottom. The float is very simple to adjust with a couple quick turns. And, the best part, the rate of flow from the fill tube can be adjusted, from full blast to completely off; I set mine to a light flow and it fills the bowl perfectly without wasting water like other valves (and thus saving me cash).I got the whole thing installed in about 5 minutes with only a crescent wrench to remove the old valve; everything on this thing can be hand adjusted. Now, my toilet flushes with gusto, the leak is fixed and everything looks great. If you need a replacement float valve for your toilet, look no further! I'm considering getting one for my other toilet now since it should pay for itself over time with the water savings.

For a few dollllars more than your standard tank repair kit, I purchased this one. It promised a few key benefits, and delivered on them.Some of the features advertised on this kit are standard with a normal kit:1. Setting the amount of water that fills the tank - this is done the same way as a normal kit, by adjusting the height of the float with a screw - easy as cake.2. Water savings on a flush - this is a bit debateable since any new fill valve will save water over what's wasted by a broken one.3. Flapper - the flapper in this kit is nothing special. Feels kind of flimsy actually, but it gets the job done.Some of the unique features offered by this kit:1. Calibrating the amount of water that goes into the bowl through the fill tube - This is the best reason to buy this kit. With a simple lever you can adjust the fill amount to a reasonable level. My toilet was from 1984, and wasted a lot of water by overfilling the bowl every time. The amount of water I save with just this adjustment will pay for the kit in no time.2. Tank Cleaner - A neat little feature, it basically sprays water around the tank to clear out any debris and help prevent anything from growing there. I had a lot of small pebbles in the tank that had accumulated over the years, and within 3-4 flushes it had pushed all of them into a nice little cluster next to the flapper, and they all were flushed away quickly.3. Fill lock - This isn't fancy but it gets the job done. it's a small piece of plastic that allows you to lock the pump in the "off/raised" setting and prevent the tank from refilling while you are adjusting the flapper, changing the pump height, or whatever else you need to do.4. Easy installation - No tools required and took me about 10 minutes to install, and I was pretty careful. Totally painless.I haven't had a chance to use the leak detection feature yet (and hopefully won't ever have to).Overall I think this kit is great, offering a lot of extras you won't find on a normal repair kit. The high level of adjustability will likely offset the higher cost of this kit in the long run. Highly recommended.

This is a thoughtfully designed product, but it is not compatible with every toilet, as the advertising suggests.The model HFX120 features a cleaning tube intended to rest on the bottom of the tank. It attaches to a plastic nipple at the base of the fill valve assembly. My TOTO toilet is designed to provide a relatively low tank profile. To accommodate the height of a standard fill valve, there is a ~2.5-inch diameter recess at the bottom of the tank in which the fill valve assembly seats. This recess is not large enought to accommodate the HFX120 cleaning tube. Thus, to use the product, I had to cut the plastic nipple off of the assembly and forego the use of the tube. It appears that the MJSI model 550 fill valve, which is essentially the same product as the fill valve in the HFX120 kit without the cleaning tube, would be appropriate for the TOTO toilet.Apart from this issue, the installation instructions are good; the installation was straightforward; and the product performs its function.
