The toilets have reached the maximum development, both in operation and in finishes and water savings. Precisely in this subject, Miguel Jaramillo is an expert. The Fluidmaster filling valve is your alternative. "It is easy to install and easy to use." This sanitary fitting can be installed in most toilet tanks. Currently, 4.8 liters of sanitary wares are offered in the local market, saving 63% of water per year. "These are high efficiency pieces." This type of water-saving device has another advantage of being able to identify leaks and automatically fill the tank when it is not being used, says Jaramillo.
It has a part that activates when a leak is detected. However, the valve does not make noise. "It has quiet operation thanks to a fast filling with a positive cut". Also, the toilet tank fills up faster. In 25 seconds the process is complete. The constant rate of filling ensures a complete discharge every time the toilet water is sent down. It is made of materials resistant to corrosion, hard water elements and constant use.
"The guarantee is one, two, three and up to 13 years." Some pieces are plastic, others rubber and metal. The Fluidmaster can be completely repaired. There are people who throw the valve when it does not work anymore but, Jaramillo adds, the product must be checked because it has a rubber that can be replaced. Its cost, including installation, is USD 28. But the expert says that if the purchase passes the five valves, the price can go down to USD 25.
To place it, no special tools are required. The approximate time of application is 30 or 45 minutes. These products are marketed in various colors: plumb, brown and black. In the local market, additional games such as chains are offered, which are not included in the cost of the valve.
