I bought an American Standard Cadet 3 FloWise (1.28 gal) 2 piece tank and bowl recently.
(Parts number 4021.128.*** and 3014.128.***)
Based upon information here and from other sources, I didn't install the original fill valve but immediately replaced it with Korky WaterWise Fill Valve (Model 818Z), but left the original Cadet 3 flapper there (although I also have a larger Korky Cadet 3 flapper on standby). Based upon my water meter (which measures in .02 cu feet increments (and is resolvable to .01 cu feet), the toilet uses 1.6 Gal per flush.
Is there something wrong in using the Korky WaterWise fill valve, that is making it use extra water? Or perhaps I have it set wrong? I have the water line set to 5/8" below the fill valve top, and the C/L line is 1" above the fill line.
I might point out that I have had no issues with any flushes over a period of 2 weeks of usage, including one person in my family that consistently can clog a "normal" toilet (even with no toilet paper). The spot size seems adequate, and there seems to be no stains left in the bowl. There does seem to be a little splash that seems to collect some spotting on the top of the bowl.
Thanks for any input,
Regards,
Ira
