Fluidmaster 8102P8 Flush 'n Sparkle Automatic Toilet Bowl Cleaning System Refills, Blue 2-Pack, Upgraded Version

when I bought the system it came with a clear bleach cartridge. It worked so great that I bought one for my sister who's selling her condo. It worked so well, I bought replacement cartridges. The replacement was blue bleach. Terrible!!!! It swelled up and clogged the system after a couple of flushes. I eventually threw them away. I don't see replacement cartridges with clear bleach, only the blue. Bad business, unless the company starts coming out with the clear replacement cartridges ill be buying the tablets for the bowl.

Each cartridge has lasted 2-3 months in a home where we flush a lot. Really does the job of maintaining the cleanliness of the bowl. I like that I get a fresh cartridge each time I order and that I don’t have to fiddle with the basket much to replace the product. If you want a refillable basket there are other companies that make that sort of thing as well as YouTube videos to modify. I like this as-is and want it to stay in this form TYVM. My concern is one place above mentioned it’s made in the USA and the other mentioned it’s made in China, not knowing for certain I’d only guess is that it may be both. Cleaning agent USA, but the plastic cartridge imported, but that’s just my guess. I never thought a product would save my back by helping me clean my toilet tank, but this does and I’m grateful. Before changing the cartridge I do clean the toilet completely and I wait for the old cartridge to be completely done at least a week before replacement of cartridge. This is simple to change, efficient in cleaning and not too expensive. It is much cheaper than a maid. If I didn’t use this product I’m sure I could spend more with Lysol or Clorox and have more strain on my back. Fluidmaster for the win 🥇.

Purchased this from Amazon US as they are not available in Australia even tho Fluidmaster toilet cistern spares are,I spoke with Fluidmaster here in Australia told him i had a Coroma float in my cistern and he told me how to make it work for the Fluidmaster device. It works as is described in the brochure/ add but the colour/cleaner cartridge seems to clog up and doesn't allow the product to dispense. Searching through my shed i found a Fluidmaster valve and float assembly purchased as a replacement along time back but never got around to using it, I will install this in my cistern although the operation appears to be the same hookup as the Coroma float, If it works I will modify this review to reflect same.

I have been using the Fluidmaster Flush 'n Sparkle Cleaning system for about four years to help control black mold and mildew that tends to grow under the rim and in the bowl. The chlorine bleach cartridges have definitely helped control the excessive mold and mildew buildup but I still needed to manually clean the bowl every week or two to keep the problem under control. I recently decided to try out the blue cartridges to see how well they worked and see if there was any difference. To my surprise it seems as though the blue detergent cartridges are doing a better job at controlling the mildew under the rim of my toilet than the white chlorine cartridges were. My water supply tends to be heavy in minerals (particularly calcium) and it is treated strongly with chlorine/chloramine. It seems both the white and blue cartridge work well but their effectiveness might depend on how chlorinated your water supply already is and what type of growth or deposits you are getting in your toilet bowl. Conclusion: I recommend that users of the Fluidmaster system test both types or try alternating both types of cleaning cartridges and see which works best for your particular situation. As a plus the blue detergent cartridges are less expensive but unfortunately they do need to be replaced more often than the bleach ones which for me last up to four months. I would also suggest installing a fill valve with a system to control the flow of wasted excess water from overfilling the bowl. I am using the HydroClean HC660 fill valve with a built in water bowl overflow control but Fluidmaster also sells a good system that can be added on to an existing fill valve and adapted with an adjustable pinch roller with pressure clamps that slide on tubing between the fill valve and the Flush and Sparkle system (or use the complete kit, Fluidmaster 400ARHR High Performance Toilet Fill Valve). These help control how much water flows through the cartridge cleaning system so that your cleaner and water mixture doesn't just flow down the drain along with excess wasted water.

Great for daily toilet care so we no longer get the 'ring' build up but rarely lasts even 2 weeks at my house much less as long as the package states. I wish the product lasted at least a month as it gets pricey and our toilets are not heavily used compared to many (school, work etc keeps us out of the house too often)
