Fluidmaster8202P8 Flush 'n Sparkle Automatic Toilet Bowl Cleaning System Refills, BioBalance Septic 2-Pack

It works as described, easy to install.

These work better than the kaboom. The kaboom worked good at first, but then stopped working that good so far these are good

They seem work!

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 🥇.

This is going to be a long review.First off, let me say i have been using this product for years. I actually stockpiled several refills years ago when my local hardware store decided to stop selling them. I relied on these very heavily because my water is very hard and it helped keep my bowl clean between manual cleanings so I don't need to spend as much time cleaning calcified deposits out of the bowl. I really liked them, even though they were expensive and never got the amount of time out of a cartridge that i hoped. This year i used up the last of my stockpiled cartridges and ordered these (same model number).Immediately i could tell a difference. Previously, when i first installed a cartridge, the water would be so blue it would be almost opaque. The cleaning action was good too. When i installed this new one, the blue dye was faint, almost at the level of 4 weeks use on the old ones. The blue dye is cosmetic, so i figured there was a formula change and waited to see how well it worked. After only a month there was very little color left, and it definitely wasn't doing the cleaning job well (was back to alot of manual labor to clean the bowel).I contacted the company. They said there was no change in the product formula, and sent me two replacement cartridges and a prepaid box to return the one unused cartridge from the box that I had a bad experience with.When I tried to remove the new cartridge from the dispenser (no longer any blue color and not working for cleaning) i found the dispenser was full of thick gooey blue sludge which was not dissolving easily. I removed the dispenser and rinsed it clean in the kitchen sink (took a long time).The new cartridge that the company sent me was better, but also CLEARLY different. The blue tint was again not anywhere near as dark as the older ones that i ran out of, but it was much better than the last one. So clearly, despite what the company says, the formulation HAS changed. This new one was helping to clean, unlike the last one.Today the blue dye was almost gone again, so i went to replace the cartridge. I pulled it out and found that it wasn't empty, and again the dispenser was full of blue sludge (but not as bad as the last cartridge). Removing it and re-inserting it seems to have displaced the sludge enough that the cleaner is coming out with strong color again. I'm going to try this trick for the next few weeks when the dye fades again.It seems pretty clear that the formulation of this has changed, and the stuff turns into blue sludge (at least in hard water). I'm not sure what I'm going to do, because, as i said, I really rely on these things. Maybe I'll try the bleach cartridges instead.

This keeps our toilets super-clean, fresh-smelling for MONTHS.After initial cleaning and pumicing away the hard water rings, prior to it's very simple & safe-for-your-toilets' -operation, 15-minute install for ALL 4 of our toilets, this product has kept our toilets bowls white and the hard water rings have not returned (not a hint of them!) in now 3 months of use. 3 months is the recommended time to change the cartridges and I'll be doing that this week. I've tried SO many products, put in way too much elbow grease to keep our toilets clean over the years. This product delivers!! I'll not be using anything else for our toilets.

I have the bleech version, decided on getting the blue. In the beginning, it kind of work. Minimal cleaner being dispensed, the color was more purple than blue. Then it stopped working. The material will bind to the unit and cake up. Rendering the unit useless. When you twist it off, you can see the material form a barrier and clogging the unit. A mess to clean up. We have 4 bathrooms in house, this happened to all 4 toilets.

Keeps bowl clean longer.

Ces très bon je vous le conseil

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.

These work great but they can vary in time they last depending on frequency of flushes; obviously. However, if you have several toilets in your house and you leave one for several days without flushing, the water will be concentrated with this cleaner and may be clumpy or gel like. Just flush several times and it will clear. It has left blue stains on the toilet bowl but it can easily wipe off.

Septic safe and won’t wreck your tank seals. Best of all worlds

Works really well. I had stains that I had to scrub every time I cleaned the toilet. I scrubbed them clean before I installed Fluidmaster and the stains didn't come back. I still have to clean the toilet once in a while but I just have to use a toilet brush and it cleans it easily.
