Fluidmaster Leak Sentry Ballcock Universal Toilet Repair Kit

We replaced the fill valves on new Eljer toilets when we remodelled our new downsized home. We learned a lesson in our old home that every toilet flapper seal eventually wears out and if you don't fix it quickly, there'll be an unpleasant surprise when the water bill comes, typically at least 60 days after the problem begins and 30 days after it's too late to stop the excess charges. We've had water bills spike as much as $200 in one month due to an undetected leaking toilet flapper seal. This ingenious and very inexpensive alternative fill valve has a device that prevents the tank from refilling when the seal leaks. I worked for over 20 years helping large commercial and industrial clients reduce their natural gas and electricity costs through deregulated energy buying programs and energy efficiency programs. Property Managers, especially for multi-family residential buildings (apartments & condos) understand that water is trending to be as expensive as natural gas and electricity - and there is typically no way to recover that excess cost.

We have used this valve with the leak sentry for several years with great success. Flappers dont last forever and with 30 plus water closets the water/sewer bill can get quite large with just one running valve. Since we installed these valves we have had many cases where the tank was dry alerting us to replace flappers without having to figure out what flapper AFTER we got a huge water bill. bottom line these work if installed correctly.
