I've tested the bleach and blue, blue is worthless, bleach is nice.

I would only install these on new toilets and tanks that have had new internals installed.

Not trying to be a wiseguy, but genuinely asking, are there any fill valves/ballcocks on the market that aren't anti siphon? I could see that being a problem if installing on a old unit with original parts.

Ok, thinking about it some more, you could probably use these in a 30,000 mile service package.

You show up, flush the water heater, check/clean burner, replace ice maker and RO filters, replace toilet cartridges, check out rest of the house.. In n out about an hour.

I may be mistaken, but I believe the following are either not anti-siphon design or rely on the fill tube for the air inlet for the purpose of anti-siphon :

Crane C-3001
Burlington #20 series
Fill Pro FV75
