Abstract From the Canadian patent

A water saving attachment is described for use in a conventional assembly for flushing a toilet. The attachment consists of a weight attached to a clip. The clip is formed of resilient material and has an arcuate inner wall. The clip may be snapped into and out of engagement with the air float of the flushing assembly. When the clip is engaged to the float, it partially encircles and frictionally and slideably engages the outer wall of the float. The position of the weight in the tank can be adjusted by rotating the clip about the outer wall of the float.
