Title: New Valve, New Problem
Review: I bought a new American Standard with the Fluidmaster 400 Anti-Siphon Toilet Tank Fill Valve, because I couldn't find a flapper valve for my old the Crane toilet (apparently, the flapper valve I needed has become a rare commodity). The Crane ran and ran, which wasted a lot of water and drove me crazy at night. I thought newer would be better (and American Standard seemed like a good bet), but in short order (a month or less after the toilet installation) the Fluidmaster 400 began to run, but not because of the flapper valve. This time it was the tank fill valve. The lever attached to the arm that connects to the float would not close all the way. I saw a repair tip on YouTube to fix this issue--cleaning grit from the valve--but it turns out that the fix was not applicable to my brand new Fluidmaster 400. Anyway, I am still looking for the fix. I am someone who expects newer designs to be more robust, but sadly this has not been the case with the Fluidmaster 400.
Is the review positive or negative?
