    A kwik-e-mart version of this with automatic doors would be swell.

    Just curious, any reason you went with Korky over Fluidmaster?

    I tried to buy a genuine Kohler, but the dude at Plumbateria told me that would be special order, and that everyone just used the korky ones. I usually like OEM parts for high performance machines like this, but the guy at Plumbateria seemed legit. I did not compare with other aftermarket options. Plus, I smile when I think of the brand name because I really liked "Life Goes On".

    Fixed the basement washroom receptacle that had immediately tripped the GFI breaker when used (the past 15 years). Two circuits connected to breaker, 1 of 2 neutrals went to neutral bus bar instead of breaker, fuck. All 3 light fixtures and exhaust fan were working fine. Stupid home owner. (me)

    Let's price it out. We can 3D print a non-Asian character in there so I don't get in trouble with Karen.

    The Korkys work really well but are not as durable. I get two-three years out of them.

    Well, I got about 12 years out of the kohler one. If the Korky doesn't last, I'll check out the other options.

    I've installed 7 or 8 Fluidmasters. Install and forget. I think the first one in this house is coming up on 12ish years.
    There's even one in my relatively new Kohler, as it failed about 5 years in. I've heard the Korkys are ok, but a bit lower-rated. Still probably better than the original.

    I put in a Fluidmaster in the old house, I found it louder than the original so I exchanged it for a Korky, which was somewhat quieter. Good to know that the Fluidmasters are very durable.

    Amazon.ca sells both Kohler fill valves BTW.

    Why did you replace it? Slow in filling?

    So you've got two in the front and one in the rear. Perfect setup.
