"Better off" below should be amended to say "NO." You cannot replace a Flushmate with a regular toilet valve. I have tried it, and I can tell you for certain that is does not work. The bowl itself is specially designed to work with the Flushmate system. Observe the shape and path of the pipe going from the tank to the bowl and compare to a regular toilet to see the difference. If you replace the BOWL, then you can replace the Flushmate system in the tank with a standard valve, as the TANK is the same as a toilet without the Flushmate system, but the BOWL must be designed to work with Flushmate. DIsclaimer: I am not a plumber, this is based on my own experiments and observations as a money-grubbing homeowner. No your better off throwing the flushmate away with the toilet and buying a new T&B

How does a flushmate work?

A Flushmate works by using water pressure to compress air inside a sealed tank, which then forces water out of the tank with high pressure to create a powerful flush. When the toilet is flushed, the compressed air forces water from the tank through the flush valve, resulting in a more effective and efficient flush compared to traditional gravity-fed systems.
