Not sure what to call it. It is a small unit that fits to the water inlet at the bottom of the tank. it has no float. It somehow measures the volume of water and shuts off. Water level is adjustable by turning a small knob. So far, I like it. It fills fast and is relatively quiet. Does anyone have long term experience with one of these? How did it hold up?

I can generally get about 5-10 years out of a Fluidmaster, which is what I'm back to using.

When you think about it, it is a bit extraordinary that these plastic parts that are used fairly frequently can last as long as they do.

Rolly, I'm not having any problems with it. Just wondering if anyone else has used one and how long I can expect it to last. Also, to let others know that it seems like a good product; easy to install and quiet.

I'll stick to tried and true , no more fill valves for me. Fluid master would work for a year or two and then hang up sometimes. Got tired of fixing it.
