Tools and Hardware Reviews of BlueSource HC660 HydroClean Water-Saving Toilet Fill Valve with Cleaning Tube by MJSI
Customer Review: HydroClean 660 a Winner!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
