#Fail - Ghost flushes if the seal is not properly set on an angled flush valve seat.
Pros
-cheap
-aesthetics good
-works if the products lasts
Cons:
-The blue coating on the valve adapter develops bumpy air pockets through time which leads to ghost flushing. For me it happened twice inside half a year.
Workaround:
Ensure sure the seal is secure with plumbers putty for a tight fit. If it happens again, clean/dry the adapter (if it is still in good condition), clean the valve seat throroughly and apply fresh putty when installing.
Conclusion:
Got sick of the repetitive work around. I just went with the updated Fluidmaster duo flush valve kit and replaced the valve seat with a flat Fluidmaster version. So far, so good.
