How long does a Fluidmaster last?
A: Most of Fluidmaster’s fill valves, flappers and flush valves have 5-7 year warranty and typically last beyond these years when not exposed to the harmful effects of drop-in bleach tablets. Drop-in bleach tablets can degrade these toilet parts so they do not function properly (e.g., seal leaks) within a year or two.
Why does my fluidmaster fill slowly?
The main reason for a toilet tank not filling or filling slowly is due to the toilet fill valve. The most common reasons for the fill valve to slow down or no longer fill the tank after the flush are debris issues and the length of time a fill valve has been in use.
What are the numbers on fluidmaster flapper?

Which is better korky or fluidmaster?
The Korky gasket material is nice and spongy, yet sturdy – the quality feels better to me than the Fluidmaster. As with replacement flush valves, there’s more than one size of gasket available. 2 inch is by far the most common, with some newer toilets using 3 inch valves….

Why does my toilet keep running Fluidmaster?
My Fluidmaster Keeps Running! This fill tube connects the fill valve to your toilet overflow tube. Ensure that it’s firmly attached; the water stream should go right into it when flushed. The float might also not be in the proper position. If it is too high, the valve won’t shut off, and the toilet will keep running.
How can I make my toilet tank fill faster?
Make sure the fill valve is securely and evenly attached to its tube. For older toilets, use a flathead screwdriver to loosen the adjustment screw and raise the fill valve to let more water into the tank. For newer toilets, turn the fill valve adjustment knob with your hand to let more water into the tank.
