HydroFix Toilet Repair Kit that includes the HydroClean toilet fill valve, the patented J-Tube, and the HydroForce flapper. This water conservation pack is convenient for the consumer and professionals. The HydroClean is the only toilet fill valve on the market today that is specifically engineered to save water with every flush. Other toilet fill valves send too much water to the toilet bowl, creating an overflow in the back of the toilet that gets wasted down the drain. The HydroClean can be accurately calibrated to almost any toilet and saves thousands of gallons of water every year. A household with four members and two 1.6 gallon toilets can expect to save over 5,000 gallons annually. MJSI Inc.
