Fluidmaster, Inc. eas born in 1957 when founder/inventor Adolf Schoepe decided to bring a better idea to life, a better product to the marketplace. Long convinced that the existing toilet technology was inefficient and unreliable, Mr. Schoepe devised a far more effective fill valve that could readily replace other, less capable mechanisms. It was designed with far fewer moving parts and constructed from premium materials that would outlast corrosion-prone metals. Most important, it was designed to work with, rather than fight against water pressure.
