Manufacturer's Description
Flush Choice is a New and Unique Dual Action Flush Valve - A Retrofit Water Saving Toilet Valve Kit that will save money on your water utility bill, save our precious water resources, reduce polluted septic water (and the chemicals and energy used in the purification process).
FLUSHCHOICE is a water saving dual flush retrofit toilet valve kit that converts 2 piece style toilets to a water conserving, money saving dual flush toilet: a small flush for liquid waste and a big flush for solid waste.
"Dual Flush" means that the toilet has two flush options - the user has choices! One flush option is for flushing liquid waste which only requires half of the water in the toilet tank, and one flush option is for flushing solid waste which requires the full amount of water in the toilet tank.
For a family of four a toilet equipped with FLUSHCHOICE™ can save up-to 20,000 gallons of water in one year.
Retrofit
FLUSHCHOICE™ is designed as a universal retrofit for most two piece toilets. FLUSHCHOICE™ is designed for ultimate simplicity for the Do It Yourself market with an easy installation time of 30 minutes or less. The FLUSHCHOICE kit contains all new parts for your toilet - all of the moving parts in your toilet will be replaced with new FLUSHCHOICE parts. Your toilet will be totally upgraded with many years of trouble free service ahead. You will enjoy savings on your water bill and save the environment.
Unique Flush Handle Operation & Variable Settings
By moving the selector flush handle left, the toilet will flush only half of the water stored in the holding tank. By moving the selector flush handle right, the toilet will flush a full volume of water. A unique feature built into FLUSHCHOICE™ is the option to select and vary the volume of flush water. The half and full flush volumes can be individually adjusted at the time of installation.
MATERIALS
FLUSHCHOICE™ is made of highest quality materials selected for long life and 5 year warranty from the manufacturer, Aqua Save. Fully compatible with use of any tank aids (tablets, chlorine, cleaning and disinfecting chemicals).

Toilets preceding 1993 use between 3.5 gallons per flush (gpf) up to 8 gpf. Since 1993 high efficiency modes have been mandated to use 1.6 gpf.
What if I have already have a high efficiency toilet?
FlushChoice is designed to retrofit and upgrade the standard two piece tank with 1.6 GPF (Gallons Per Flush) or more. By using the half flush option, only half of the water in the tank is used for the flush.
