 Wow! The Hydroclean fill valve really works!!!May 14, 2008
By Michael
I have 4 toilets and I installed the fill valve in all four. I read the side of the box and apparently it was claimed that the toilet bowl is overfilled every time you flush. I did a test on my toilet to see how much water was being wasted down the drain (I am an engineer and I was curious). Before I installed the hydroclean valve, I make a mark with a pencil in the toilet bowl at the water line and disconnected the tiny rubber tube from the overflow tube (the overflow tube is that larger tube that sticks straight up in the middle of the tank near the flapper). I held the end of the tiny rubber tube so it was directed into the overflow tube like normal and flushed the toilet. The toilet bowl is refilled by the little trickle of water in that tiny tube. After the toilet tank started to refill, I waited until the water level in the toilet bowl reached the mark I made. When the water reached the mark, I redirected the the end of the little tube into a one gallon pitcher(away from the overflow tube). I was shocked when the little flow through this tube filled 3/4ths of the pitcher! This water was simply going down the drain. I couldn't believe that I was wasting three quarters of a gallon of water every single flush! When I installed the hydroclean valve, I adjusted the flow of water through the tiny tube into the overflow so that it was just enough to fill the bowl. It works like a charm. I am still waiting to see how much we save on our water bill.
Also, the bottom of the toilet tanks were really cleaned by the J-tube that directed water flow to the stagnant side of the toilet tank. I thought the pictures of a dirty tank turning clean on the box were a bit overblown. The fact is that during the first flush, the sediment and scum on the bottom was stirred up and made the water very cloudy. After about 4 flushes, the bottom of the toilet tank was clean to the point that I could rub my finger on it and there was no scum, etc. (It was a little discolored due to the stain caused by the scum that sat there for years) I typically replace the flapper every year or so because the scum buildup ultimately causes water leaks.
Simply put, this product is outstanding!!! It saves water and keeps the toilet tank clean preventing leaks. Every Hydroclean claim on the box was right on. I can't believe someone didn't come up with this kind of product earlier. If you want to save a LOT of water, BUY THIS VALVE!!!
One quick thing though--measure the distance between the floor valve and the fill valve inlet in the back of the toilet if you don't have a flex supply tube--I had to make an extra run to the hardware store to get new flex supply tubes. Also, I replaced the flappers to start everything off new.
NOVEMBER 20,2011 UPDATE:
The Hydroclean valve has now been installed in my toilets for over three years now. Everything is working well. We have saved a LOT of water. One interesting thing to note--I was working on one of the toilets to replace the flapper with a new dual flush valve which prompted this update. I took a couple of pictures of the tank and one picture of the bottom of the flapper that I uploaded to Amazon. The tank was reasonably clean after 3 years, and the flapper was VERY clean. I would have thought that the flapper would have had more of that black grit on the bottom after that amount of time. See the 3 pictures I uploaded. I still highly recommend this product!

 Satisfaction with every flush.Jan 25, 2010
By Oleg Mustiazza
MJSI HC660 is a toilet tank component that controls the way the toilet fills up with water. Compared to my old valve which was so slow and loud this one is all but the opposite. Quiet, fast refill and ease of adjusting water level are the key features you need to know about it. Yes, it does a good job rinsing the tank too. I can't think of a good purpose for that, unless the crud that accumulates there makes the water stink.
It also doesn't trickle into the bowl while the tank is filling up and fills the bowl about 1/2" less.
So buy it, install it and adjust its height about 1.5" below the tank's water level. Use it a few days and raise the level as needed to find the optimum fill volume.
Of course this valve is an improvement over any malfunctioning valve. But I don't think it's saving me 4 quarts of water over other contemporary valves.

Easy to Use and Highly Adjustable for Maximum Water SavingsNov 28, 2009
By diljs
For a few dollllars more than your standard tank repair kit, get this one instead. It promises a few key benefits, and delivers 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.
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 slightly higher cost of this kit in the long run. Highly recommended.

HydroClean 660 a Winner!Jun 29, 2008
By Bill Bussey
"Bill B."
My upstairs toilet had been making a soft leaking sound for months. More troubling was my well pump would run even when no one had been using the water for awhile. Thus, I must have a leak somewhere!
We have gone through a major drought over the past year or so, thus water waste had been a regionwide issue of concern.
My hardware store guru had suggested that my flapper must be leaking and suggested I clean around it with a green scrubber. I did this on several occasions, but the leaking sound only stopped for a short period of time before I heard it again.
I tried pushing down the float of my Korky Fill Valve. With some fiddling, this seemed to stop the leaking sound. However, after a flush or two, it would be barely audible again. Thus, the leaking sound didn't appear to be from a leaking flapper.
I picked up a few free Fluidmaster "leak detection tablets" from the hardware store and tried one out. The bowl became blue almost immediately. This verified I had a leak! But exactly where I didn't know.
I had to start shopping and figuring out what to do!
At the hardware store, I noticed the Master Plumber and Fluidmaster were the most carried brands. Lots of models of the Fluidmaster were available EVERYWHERE. But they seemed so plain and old fashioned. I didn't consider Korky because one had apparently not worked for me. There were a couple of Fillpro valves, which looked intriguing. However, in doing internet research, I found only negative reviews on them.
Over on the left of the rack, almost hidden from view, I saw the HydroClean 660 valve. Intrigued I noted that it a tube that came out of the bottom to self clean the bottom of the tank. When I had last replaced and cleaned the flapper, I had struggled to clean the tank. This feature alone looked kind of cool!
So I came home and did my research. I found the very positive review on Amazon, and a few other positive reviews elsewhere. The MJSI website had a lot of information on it, including video on how to install and the like. I didn't know that the toilet bowl was filled by the flow of water in the overflow tube! I was impressed that the HydroClean Fill Valve let you adjust this.
Google even pointed out to the website of Cobb County, GA which recommended the Hydroclean Fill Valve as a replacement valve to save water during their even worse drought!
All this sold me and I was ready to give it a try. I drove up to the nearest, and brand new Ace Hardware store and looked for the HydroClean Fill Valve. Ace listed it on their website. At first I couldn't find it on the rack with the other fill valves, so I wondered if they carried it in this store. I asked the manager, who directed me to the staff plumbing expert. He tried to figure out what I was talking about. But as we were walking back to the rack, there was the HydroClean on the end cap!
He noted that they had not sold very well which I found interesting because normally end caps are used for items they are trying to move. I mentioned that I had seen nothing but positive reviews on it, and about Cobb County recommending it. So I wished them the best.
I picked up the HyroClean 660 with the flapper. I thought I'd replace both at the same time, even though my existing flapper looked fine.
Installation was easy. The directions were good and easy to follow. The J tube installed easily. The adjustments were easy. I did the "pencil mark on the bowl" technique to determine the proper bowl fill level. It took about three flushes and a reread of these instructions, but it worked. Apparently a lot of water had been going down the back drain since Day 1.
When I got everything put back together, there was no leaking noise. I tried another "leak detection tablet." There was no blue in the bowl even after several hours. I think the leak was fixed!
It continues to work well several days later. I don't hear my well pump nearly as much as I used to, especially when there is no water running.
My only concern is that it sounds a little bit different - a little more "scratchy", when the tank is filling. This doesn't seem to be affecting anything.
I'll have to see if it continues to work well over the long term with my relatively hard water. I do soften all water coming into the house, but I do periodically have to clean my coffee maker with white vinegar to unstop it. So I know the water is relatively hard.
But right now I think that the HydroClean 660 is a winner! I'm planning to replace the fill valves in all my toilets with this valve.

So Easy To Install and it Works Great!Dec 29, 2009
By Laura Harris
"wjhljj"
We installed one of these valves along with the HYR270 HydroRight Drop-in Dual Flush Converter in a 25 year old toilet in about 30 minutes. It is important to set the height of the valve right. Don't skip that step. For less than $40 we converted that old toilet into a $200 dual flush toilet that should use alot less water. We went right back to Amazon and ordered 2 more sets to change over the other toilets in our home. Worth way more than what they cost and we haven't seen anything like them in the hardware stores. Thank You Amazon!
