MJSI HYR270 HydroRight Drop-in Dual Flush Converter
From the Manufacturer
Winner of multiple awards for product innovation, the hydroright dual flush converter quickly and easily turns your toilet into a water-saving two-button toilet. The quick flush setting for liquids and paper reduces the amount of water used by up to 70% for liquids and paper, saving a family of four an estimated 15,000-Gallon of water and approximately 105 per year. Unlike other dual flush converters, the hydroright can be installed in less than ten minutes, without tools and without having to remove the tank. Because dual flush converters do not fit in every toilet, here are the exceptions you should know about before you buy: if you have a mansfield toilet, you will also have to purchase a standard flush valve. Your toilet tank must have at least 10-Inch height clearance(distance from where the flapper currently seats to lid bottom must be 10-Inch or more) for the hydroright to fit and work. The hydroright replaces only standard size flappers, the flush opening from tank to bowl should be 2-Inch to 2-1/2-Inch in diameter(this is the hole the flapper covers: some newer toilets have 3-Inch flush opening, hydroright does not work in 3-Inch flush or larger toilets). If the hydroright is installed in a toilet with an old ballcock, the arm of the ballcock may hit the hydroright and not work properly. In some cases, the hydroright can be turned to compensate. In other cases, purchasing a hydroclean or other pilot style fill valve may be required. MJSI, Inc., headquartered in Shorewood, IL is the manufacturer of the hydroworks portfolio of products that are devoted to water conservation, earth preservation and sound environmental plumbing.

Reviews
This product doesn't work as promised for 1.6 low flow toilets. The only trick is holding down the short flush button for a few seconds as others have mentioned. But given that - we love this device. There is no "flapper" and therefore no "flapper leaking" problems or tangling with a handle mechanism anymore. We love it! I think it is a quieter flush too! It was easy to install in about 5 minutes.
This installed pretty easily even though I have an unusual toilet tank. It looks good, is easy for new users to figure out and so far has been working great for the 3 weeks since installation. I worked out that it should pay for itself in 6 to 12 months. The instructions weren't perfect though -- I documented my install and poorly noted instructions on my blog -- [..]
I feel like I have really saved quite a bit on water from using the HydroRight. It's a great device that is very easy to install. I definitely recommend turning the water off coming into your tank before you start installing it. I'm impressed with how little water it uses to flush and still manages to clear out the bowl. I have it on a 1.6 gallon toilet and it's working great (double savings in comparison to pre-1994 toilets). I've tried convincing others to buy this little device as well because it honestly works. My only drawback is the actual buttons. It would be easier if the button were a handle/flusher because the button hits the toilet lid. In other words, you always have to move the lid out of the way to flush. However, it's easy to choose between the full flush and the partial flush but I think the button sizes should be reversed from the way they are (the partial flush button is the smaller button on the device). Overall, I would rate it as a 4 out of 5.
I have to say that installation was super easy. literally took me 20 minutes and that's cause i took my time reading the directions. I didn't have to use any tools or even turn off the water. This product does exactly what it's meant to do. The only complaint i have is that it takes a good amount of pressure to push in the buttons. Usually its not that intuitive to push that hard. Guests usually get confused with the thing. If they had a better flusher mechanism i would say this would be perfect. But can't complain about the price i bought it for and the amount its gonna save me.
Like others have said, the single flush does not work well, you have to hold the button in for about 3 seconds for it to flush toilet paper, otherwise it would get 5 stars. I installed this in a 1980s era American Standard Plebe toilet. I also bought the MJSI HydraClean Fill Valve at the same time because it was recommended for toilet tanks with the old ballcock which may interfere with the installation of the converter. My ballcock did not interfere with the installation so I didn't install the fill valve. I may install it in the future if my old fill valve dies, or I just get the ambition to mess with the toilet plumbing. I will be buying two more Dual Flush converters for my other 2 AS Plebe toilets,
