Any opinions on these a new product called nuflush extension tubes?

basically a extension tube for the overflow tube on a toilet.

Have a few rental properties, And most have AS cadet 3 toilets or is what we try to use.
Rare but if I have one that is at the end of the line. Seems like more water with flush would help with any soft clog's.
And the increased bowl wash would be a benefit.
Maybe less maintenance for us and cleaning for tenant.

Not a big deal but the product looks interesting

Is there any cons?

Thanks

Does not look like it's to code.

I do not see any pictuers, but you do not want to raise it above the opening for the trip lever handle,

How much water is left in the tank when the flapper closes? You could install an adjustable flapper and allow it to stay open longer. If you extend the overflow, unless the current tank empties, you won't get more water per flush without changing the flapper.

not

isn't it funny how some things make a 180 degree turn around ?
years ago people would come up with ways to save water when flushing the toilet.
some put a coke bottle full of water in the corner of the tank.
some put a brick in there.
there were rubber partitions that slide into place so the tank would not empty.

fast forward to 2020..

incomplete flushes, while not the norm do occur.

i have a kohler wellworth out back ( i brought home from a job used)that i had to modify the flush tower lift rod.
it would not lift it high enough so it closed too early. works fine now.

so the bottom line is that if you have a toilet that you are not happy with the flush, which is more EVIL?
modify it or flush it twice?

or simply hold the lever longer (holding the flapper up) allowing more water to empty from the tank

D'OH

Thanks guys. Always great advice here. And I myself do find plumbing interesting and like to learn.

So no matter the water level it has more to do with the flapper, right?
If anything you could get a adjustable flapper and set to high. And add one of those yellow floats on the chain. That I see on some 2" flappers. To make flapper stay open even longer?

Dont think I will actually do anything since not really having any problems. But like to know.

Could have used some options when they first came out with low flow toilets. Then they really needed some extra help. Now much better designs and the low flow ones do seem to have a much stronger flush than the old 4 - 5 gal.

I also remember the days when people would say put a brick in the tank or those partitions. And could see the waste since took so much water for a flush.

Now even if you flush twice it still seems like a lot less water. The cadet 3 is 1.28 gpf. I just think it would have been even better if allowed at 2.0 gpf.

add: Just did a test for fun. Added a float to a AS oem flapper. Thought it would but did not make any difference.

So looks like the only way for more water is to hold down the handle.
