    It does not - I did not see anyway to adjust it so I did order one (adjustable fluidmaster) from Amazon for 5 or 6 bucks. Thanks - will report back when installed.

    Suggestions to improve older toilet - pictures

    You guys are awesome! I took the blue thing off the tube and just held the tube horizontal and we went from 59 sec to 35! My first instinct is to take off about 1 1/2" of the white plastic tube so that the hose doesn't have to travel so far up. Is this wise or would you try something else...

    One more thing - the cold water slow leak was just behind the valve handle I guess you call "stem". Thanks again!

    Replace old water supply valves with ??

    Laundry sink water supply valves are very old and one (Cold) leaks intermittantly. Not a bad leak but would like to update with new ones. There is a 3rd valve coming off cold for fridge water run. Are there parts that I can purchase like shark bite fittings or do I need to sweat this stuff...
