AquaSense E-Z Flush Retrofit Kit with Aquaflush 1.0 GPF Valve

Our review of the AquaSense E-Z Flush Retrofit Kit paired with the Aquaflush 1.0 gallon flush valve finds it best for facility maintenance teams and savvy DIY plumbers who want a quick, durable conversion from handle-operated to touchless flushing. The single biggest reason to buy is the simple, minutes-long retrofit that delivers reliable automatic flushing and a polished chrome metal cover that withstands heavy use while improving hygiene. Installation is straightforward, and the kit is designed to work with common valve assemblies so it usually functions out of the box.

Key Features

• Touchless retrofit: The kit converts manual flush valves to sensor operation to reduce contact points and improve sanitation in restrooms.
• Durable metal cover: A modern chrome plated metal cover resists wear and presents a professional finish in high-traffic facilities.
• Quick installation: The retrofit installs in minutes and includes the necessary hardware so maintenance staff can complete upgrades without extended downtime.
• 1.0 gpf Aquaflush valve: The polished chrome Aquaflush valve uses a quiet diaphragm design and delivers consistent 1.0 gallon flushing performance.
• Chloramine resistance: The valve system includes components designed to resist chloramine and a dual-seal clog-resistant diaphragm for longer service life.
• Adjustable sensor range: The sensor can be tuned for the installation environment to avoid false triggers while ensuring reliable activation.

Who It's For

This retrofit kit is aimed at building managers, janitorial teams, and plumbers who want to modernize restrooms without replacing whole valve assemblies or fixtures. It suits schools, offices, and commercial properties that need a touchless solution to improve hygiene and cut down on wear from manual handles.

It may be less appropriate for homeowners with very unusual or proprietary flush valves, or for installations that require integrated electronic control systems beyond a single sensor retrofit. If a project needs full electronic diagnostics or networked controls, a different product line would be a better fit.
