Jacuzzi toilet fills super fast, but replaced flush valve, now slow! model y 415

[Jackie1]

I have a Jacuzzi toilet from 2005 that is awesome and fills super fast! Model Y 415. It has the old style float ball on it. The main issue is, after it fills, it still runs a little and no matter how I adjust it, it will work for a while, then go back to slightly running, so I think the valve is worn as it's older.

Now, I replaced flush valve, with the newer style without the ball from Home depot, a well known brand replacement and it take 3 times longer to fill. All these new ones are labeled quiet flow, etc, etc which I don't care about. I liked how fast the old one filled so I put it back on and I'm dealing with the slight running.

Why is this? I'll admit, with the factory one it's kinda loud when filling, but it fills SUPER FAST and I want it to stay fast with a new valve. Any ideas? Can I still buy this same exact valve with the green top? Says made in Colombia.

Yes, I also have the kohler-touchless-flushing-retrofit kit, which they say won't work with ball stylw which is false, It does work and the ball doesn't hit it when it refills

I'm sure you could find a replacement Ballcock to replace the factory one. I've never researched fill rates but its likely that the old one was some leftover stuff from 3.5 gallon flushing toilets. New toilets are only replacing 0.8 to 1.6 gallons, so a fast fill isn't as important.

also.. what is that Kohler gizmo?

I love how FAST this thing fills. Literally it fills in 15 seconds. I bought replacement at home depot and it took forever so temporarily fixed the current one. How can I find one as fast as this one?

The Kohler is an automatic flush, so you just wave your hand over the top and no handle needed.

i think some of the fluid masters have a flow restrictor pressed into the bottom of the valve where supply line goes on. the one thing that restrictor does thats positive is it also reduces water hammer and quieter
