Default Water saver Dual Flush kits for 3” Drain valve

Water Saver

I installed the BlueSource HydroRight Dual Flush in my 1.6 gal toilet and really liked it. My other two toilets are newer with a 3” flush valve. There are not many options out there. I called BlueSource HydroRight to see if they are making one or are about to make one but all they could say is they plan on making an adapter to make the current one work. But they have not even started doing it.

I bought one of the water saver kits for the 3” flush valve toilet. This kit requires you to take the tank apart. This is no big deal I had to do that when I installed the BlueSource HydroRight Dual Flush kit because my flush valve was not combatable with the kit.

The biggest thing with this unit was to position the block that it connected to the cable with the cables going down. (I attached a picture) this is not clear in the directions.

I really like the handle on this unit it has a green dot for the ½ flush and a blue for full flush.


BlueSource HydroRight Dual Flush $19.95 + tax home depot
water saver Dual Flush kit $35.90 shipped

Our water cost $4.90 per 1,000 gallons
The cost to fit the three toilets was about $90.
If I save as much as they claim the payback is right around 2 years.
Either way saving water is just good for everyone.
