The installation process is broken down into clear, sequential steps, ensuring that even individuals with limited plumbing experience can successfully upgrade their toilet system.
The Fluidmaster 400CAR3 system is an advanced toilet repair kit that replaces both the fill valve and the flapper, two critical components for proper toilet operation.

By providing precise control over water levels, the PerforMAX® system helps reduce water waste, contributing to lower utility bills and environmental sustainability.
The Fluidmaster 400CAR3 system is designed with user-friendly features that simplify both installation and ongoing adjustments.
