If you have ever experienced rust colored well water, you will know that it can be tough to get rid of the rust stains. I was going crazy with the rust ring in my brand new (white, no less) toilets. The in tank tablets worked great in my old toilet but they corroded the tank parts and the toilet kept running. So, when I installed new toilets, I figured I would be scrubbing them every day (rings in the bowl gross me out). I saw the Flush N' Sparkle on the Fluidmaster web site and I got interested. I then found it in my local hardware store and decided to try it. I will never go without it again if I can help it. The rust rings have not been seen in months. The cartridges work for 3-4 months before needing replacement. That alone is a cost savings compared to what I was spending on cleaners to scrub the rings away everyday . The only recommendation I can make to Fluidmaster is to make the cartridges available in more stores (like the grocery store, where I buy my other cleaning supplies). But, since the cartridges do last so long, it's not a major problem to pick them up when at the hardware for something else (and with my house, that's often).
Works as advertized. Well worth it! April 9, 2008

***I would like to make a note that I left the same following comments for the refills also***
I tried this item as an alternative to the products you drop into the toilet water reservoir or hang from the bowl rim. This works well because it is designed to apply the solution directly into the water of the toilet bowl and not into the reservoir where most products would have a gunky build up or stain the inside of the tank. After setting it up (which was really not complicated) it works great.
Replacing the refill cartridge is simple, no-fuss-no-muss. The only thing that keeps me from giving this item a 5 out of 5 stars is that it can require (on rare occasions) a couple of prods with a toothpick to loosen it up if it doesn't get used often. That can also be necessary for the tablets you drop down into the water reservoir. What is better about the Fluidmaster is that the cartridge is right at the top of the tank for easy access.
The refills last a long time about three to four months give or take with average use. I prefer the blue and can appreciate that the color is long lasting.
F.Y.I. As another reviewer has stated, locating refills can be a challenge to find at your local stores, but this item is still worth it.
Tricky to Install but Works Well May 15, 2009

I bought the Septic Tank Care with BioBalance (8200) b/c we have a septic system and do not use bleach. The illustrations are simpler than our Kohler tank mechanism, but we figured out how to adjust it, and it seems to work quite well on every single flush. I think the instructions are too simplistic and should show at least one other type of system so people make sure they install it correctly. As to how long it lasts, well the box says 'up to 3 months' which could mean a week to 3 months--who knows. I do think it's over priced at $14 (Lowes) and refills at $8. So I'm only giving it 4 stars.
 Not good enough August 3, 2009

I'm a long user of Clorox bleach tablets, but in one of my toilets it kept getting stuck under the seal causing the toilet to run until the tablet was moved.
I bought this hoping to prevent the red waterline rings that are common from my water supply. First of all I got blue instead of bleach which I would have known if I had read more reviews or the description more closely. Second the blue doesn't work at all. I never had red rings with the clorox tablets, but the blue flush n sparkle does NOTHING for it. I still have to clean the toilet weekly to get rid of the ring...just as if I had nothing in the toilet.
I bought 4 of these and 1 wouldn't work with 1 of the toilets (which is, ironically, also fluidmaster) so I continue to use Clorox in that one.
I like the fact that this isn't mucking up the stuff in the toilet basin, but it isn't keeping the bowl clean either.
