toilet double flushes

[Mathie]

Well, only to respond to my own question....

I have found the answer!!! (Leave it to a woman!!!) The answer is... for those of you who have bought a new flapper, and that is when the problem started.... you have a 1.6 gallon toilet, and.... you probably bought a 3.5 gallon flapper. So... I guess I was right in buying a new flapper. Hope that works for everyone else!

Wow, they're rated for gallons? I never noticed that before, thought they were all pretty generic besides some that are brand specific. Thanks Mathie, Congrats on your fix.

Whenever possible I just use the RED "Korky" and i have never had a problem with them on either 3.5 or 1.6 gal flushes.

Isn't it amazing how we can do something almost daily and yet not really pay attention. I just discovered that Fluidmaster has a new flapper out that has a rigid plastic frame and a rubber flapper.

On the top of the flapper there is a index from min 1- max of 9 to adjust for different flush rates. You simply rotate the rubber flapper on the plastic mount.

Yes, the Fluidmaster model 502 is the one you're talking about. I've installed it for a few clients and even in my own home, works great. Dialing it to pos #9 keeps it open long enough to get a great flush with the 1.6 gal tanks. And it's still under $5.00, can't beat it.
