Review on 🚽 Efficient Universal Toilet Fill Valve: Korky 528 in Sleek Black Design by Mitchell Watson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Installation can be tricky but works well.

My toilet is leaking. Replacing the valve, which looked like a rotting organ infected with tuberculosis, did not solve the problem. So I tried cleaning the valve. That does not work. The valve predated time itself. My house was built in the 50's and I doubt it has changed since then. So replacement. The old brand was FlushMaster, but this brand was a whole dollar cheaper. Score.Box from The Revain Overlords has arrived. Then I found out that switching between brands requires a complete replacement of the transition pin. Surprise! Here's the value of the dollar I saved. But that's okay, I installed two bidets and a flap, so I'm a pro at this point, right? Not right. Turn on the stopwatch when I started. Replacing the adapter took 50 minutes. You need to go under the toilet, unscrew the connection to the water supply, cope with the resulting flood of water (it will cost 1 bucket and 3 towels), and then screw in a new thing. The hardest part is that you are at the mercy of whoever tightened the screws under your toilet 50 years ago. Nuts fight for existence. I thought of the absurdity of my life - here I struggled with plastic and china as the minutes of my life raced by on this great stone, flying aimlessly into the vast cosmos of emptiness. The hour of Sisyphus presses. The nuts were stronger than a sumo wrestler's spandex. Extra bold. I've given up and given up again. Eventually I realized I had tightened the nuts the wrong way. After that, the installation took a few seconds. The instructions said to put a rubber hose in my toilet hose but the hose was too short so I ignored it. Still works like a champ (very quiet and fills up quickly), but maybe one day my toilet will end up in some kind of fiery explosion due to my inattention. Moral of this story? Switching brands isn't worth the money spent, and life has no meaning.
