A dual flush device comprises a mounting structure and a float to retrofit single flush toilets to dual flush toilets. The mounting structure is attached to an overflow tube and connected to the float with a vertical bar along which the float can move vertically downward or upward with the water level in the toilet tank. The float includes a water-tight container and a bottom part screwed into the bottom of the container. The vertical length of the float is adjustable by rotating the bottom part either away or toward the container. Several embodiments of the mounting structure and float are invented to accommodate various toilet models. The dual flush device operates with a flapper valve and a single flush handle assembly and maintains the modular design of conventional toilets. The float will prematurely close the flapper valve in a partial flush using less water than in a full flush.
