how do you control how much water is used when flushed?

If you install it properly, the flush lever can move the flush valve up or down. So you flush and when you want to cut off the flow you just pull up on the flush lever. You can dispense any portion of the tank contents on any flush.

I'm not sure how useful this answer will be, as it probably greatly depends on the toilet itself, but with my toilets it takes about 1.75 gallons for a full flush. When I installed the FlushSaver, I kept full flush at about the same amount of water, an the half flush is about 0.75 gallons. The flush quantity is quite adjustable on the FlushSaver, so you can modify the amount of water used for both the full and half flush.

It Does Stop But Depending On The Amount Of Hardness Of Your Input Water Seems To Affect The Rejection Rate And It Runs A Bit More Than What I Actually USE. So I Seem To Use More Water Overall.

By hooking up the drain hose to the rear of the unit you enable the continuous flow function to work- there is a float inside the reservoir that will make the unit stop when it is full of water (kind of like how the float in the back of your toilet works!) by hooking up the hose you subsequently bypass the float from ever sensing the unfit is full.

Use the bulky setting and then pause the load after the water has been added

I fill mine every day and use a lot of water each day. When it slows down, it indicates you need to add water.

There is a button on the spout that you press to select spray or stream. It stays in the mode you set.

I was told there is less. But you still need to flush it once a year. Excel's customer service stinks. You should know that.

Absolutely, just select the desired zone and press "water now", or I believe there is a way to water all - just not looking at it right now.

Raise water container until you get flow (assuming the pipe and drippers are not clogged)

No, not automatically. After the water is dumped, you have to re-position the bucket, and turn a lever to re-fill the bucket. It's very simple, and it allows you to vary the amount of water in the bucket.

I use water from the tap, nothing special. I just keep the vase filled with water. When I notice it is low I add more water, usually about once a month.

Good quetion! The only way I can think to do that takes away some of the advantage of an automated system. That would be to program days and watering times for the valves as desired, leave the system off and then turn on when needed and use the "water all zones one time (or only one zone) button", turning system off again when done. I know that's not an ideal scenario, but I think it's all the system will allow since it's based on weekly rather than monthly programing intervals.

There is not meter or anything like that. Manufacturer recommends changing every 6 months. If it gets overused or you have a lot of TDS or minerals in your water it will slow the flow down when capacity is getting used up.

If water is not currently running, you can flip open the cover, press the Manual button, then press the + key until the display shows the number of minutes you want to run water (from 1 to 360 minutes), and finally press Enter. Once the manual override period ends, the unit reverts to watering as usual in Automatic mode. (You can also cancel out of Manual mode by pressing the Auto Run key.) I use the Manual (override) mode every day without removing the unit.

System has auto off when water level is low. Best way is to refill before each usage. Tank is large and should last all night.

The amount of water used can be as little as one cup to as much as you want depending on how long you hold down the flush mechanize. I have had the china one & prefer this one as is has a more robust flush.
