  2. Place 3 pieces of toilet paper in the bowl and flush, if the bowl evacuates the toilet paper, lower the green dial setting by one number and repeat flush.
  3. Continue this process until toilet does not evacuate the paper and adjust dial up 1 setting. This is the lowest possible setting while maintaining a good half flush.
  4. Set the BLUE dial one to two settings higher than that of the GREEN dial.

2. Water level is half way or completely over the oval opening and the full and half flush are working but the bowl is not clearing out.

  4. Using the GREEN dial, adjust the half flush setting one setting higher.
  5. Repeat this process until the proper water level is reached.
  6. If you are not using Fluidmaster’s PerforMAX fill valve, your fill valve may not have enough output to refill the bowl. Fluidmaster recommends using the 400AH PerforMAX Fill Valve.
