Can anyone tell me where I can get replacements for the thin plastic

I have cut out plastic to replace them but they don't work so well as
the original.


For the £4ish cost of a new siphon, is it really worth trying to repair
an old one?

It is easy to change the diaphram as the top of the syphon can be
removed without disturbing the inlet and outlet connections.

Have some of the family become heavy handed - as they got used to using a
worn diaphragm. Now they are perhaps pulling too hard and damaging the
replacement? Or is it a case that the replacement isn't flexing enough - or
too much?
