After 100+ years of producing the finest plumbing valves/fixtures available anywhere, Sloan Valve Company knows how to make installation, maintenance and Sloan Valve troubleshooting quick and easy. They are known for customer-driven innovation and, although Flushometers that were developed decades ago are still in use and going strong, today there's an obvious move toward equipment that's easier to operate (automated), more hygienic (hands-off operation), better for the environment and conservative with natural resources.
One of the latest and most well-received units in the Sloan arsenal is the new Dual Flush, True Mechanical Override, Side Mount Operator Retrofit. This ADA-compliant, Optima Plus® infrared sensing valve provides automatic, hands-free operation, and also offers both automatic and user initiated flush options that are really quite unique.
The new Dual Flush Side Mount sensor uses Smart Sense Technology® to adjust the amount of water used per flush, which is determined by the length of time the user is in the sensing zone. If more than 60 seconds pass by, the valve releases a full 1.6 gallon flush. If less than 60 seconds has elapsed, only 1.1 gallons of water is released, providing a 31% savings on the amount of water used.
This Dual Flush toilet valve also features two non-hold-open buttons, one black and one green, which provide the user with their own overriding flush options if desired. The system is known as True Mechanical Override. If the smaller, green button is pressed, the reduced 1.1-gallon flush will be initiated, regardless of whether 60 seconds has passed or not. If the larger, black button is actuated, the full 1.6-gallon flush will be used.
The next time you're doing a Sloan flush valve troubleshooting operation and deciding which parts to replace, consider a total retrofit with a Dual Flush, Side Mount upgrade. This is an efficient, economic option.
