Does this system improve flushing power or is it just designed to save water?

It is suppose to do both. However, it did not work on my toilet n the seller was a real jerk. Amazon tried to help me on returning BOTH units bought but I was so fed up with the seller I just counted the whole thing as a loss n NOT WORTH all the trouble the seller was giving me over the return.

I think its just designed to save water and it does. I get good flushes on the no. 1 flush. I even have flushed solid waste at times on the no. 1 flush. I think its OK as far as I'm concerned. I think to do better you'd have to invest on a whole new commode.

Actually it dumps water faster than traditional types so i would have to say yes on full flush the power of discharge is much greater. On small flush you are able to discharge less water and still get a flush I changed three baths after buying first

Depending on how you have it setup it can certain improve flushing options. I had one of those old style 1.6 toilets. The ones with a big tube in the tank that had horrible flushing power. Now with this setup I use less water for a small flush and more for a large flush, and the additional water greatly seems to improve the flushing power.

I would say it does 'not' increase flushing power. In fact I would say it is less that a standard flush setup. Mine kit is set to allow the max water flow and it doesn't match my old setup. I've decided to replace my entire toillet with one designed for that purpose. Those do flush better with less water.

No, it makes no difference in power, it just saves water when used in the "#1" selection. You can reduce water in adjustment of the "#2" selection, but you don't have to.

We have had it installed for around 4 months now. We have a sink, shower and commode hooked to the unit and have had no issue using the shower and flushing the toilet which i would guess would be comparable to what a washing machine could put out. When it does expel the water it is very quick and so far has been able to handle everything we have been able to through at it. Also I would think that the amount of water that a toilet puts out at one time would in itself exceed any washer since it is dispensed at a slower rate volume wise. Hope this helps. We have been very pleased with our unit.

No effects that I can see and after changing the filters I turn on every tap in the house and flush both toilets to equalize pressure and to flush any sediment dislodged by the process. Everything was running full pressure without a problem. I have two filters installed as you are planning.

Yes it does, that's what it is designed for. I woudn't flush anything that you would not normalyflush down a toilet. This is the second one that I have installed I have one in the house I live in now and am building a new house and have installed it there also.

Yes, but there is an adjustment that can be done on the FlushSaver that seemed to have to mostly corrected that on my installation. Hope that helps. I might also add that FlushSaver company was very helpful with the questions I had. As I recall, we emailed back and forth with questions and answers.

No, it doesn't. I don't worry because the water is obviously mixed with toilet bowl cleaner...but I do empty it regularly.

Yes, it reduces the pressure a little and during backwash you can only get a trickle of water, I set mine to backwash at like 2am and iv never had a problem. but it works great the scent is gone.

It allows for a higher or lower volume of water to cycle thru the system. My research shows the "high" setting is the same as the pre-set setting of the previous model.

As it seems the obvious reason would be when this pump works it flush tons of water 1g in-2g out and if you have water softener & filter it would flushing softwater to drain and this would be in 100's or 1000's of gallons based on outage . but besides that I didn't find much on their website not to use softners .

Hey Joe, probably will not help with your entire-system. It should help with the washer as it is intended. But your problem lies within the water pressure (PSI) setting at the water inlet regulator for the condo unit itself. I would have that checked and turned down. If you leave the water pressure regulator at the current pressure setting it is at, it will surely cause some type of damage over time with the undue stress on the pipes, fittings and fixtures (like faucets) attached to your system. Needs to be checked out for sure.

NO- the water flows through the pump first & then into the unit. The unit helps smooth the water flow & helps reduce the pump from cycling off & on so much.

It's difficult for me compare. In our previous house water pressure was quite low and water flow from the filter faucet was slow. Now, I've decided to buy system with a booster pump to be on a safe side. I have no regrets. Even though water pressure looks higher.

The laundry riser output is by far a better drain solution than the toilet method. I've never had a backup in the laundry drain in several years of use.

It is more than enough. I have never experienced a water conditioning / filtering system that was better. I do almost nothing to the pool and it is pristeen and clean all the time. I wondered if the run time from the spec was enough, but it proved to be more than adaquate. Hope this helps.

Yes it does reduce the flow of water. If you have a good flow now it is not significant.

I've had no problems at all---works like a charm. I love it. Now, I'm amazed at how long other toilets take to flush---all that water gone. But, mine is used with the American Standard toilet--don't know why that would make a retrofitted not work right, though. Maybe you just got a bad one.

I agree this is an issue. Sorry, I don't have the answer. Mine does drain but is much slower than when the disposer is running. It hasn't been enough to be an problem for me.
