I am getting a deposit on my flapper valve over time and it is causing it to leak.

If I clean it the leak stops.

It is a dark reddish color.

I think it is an iron deposit. And there is also some sand deposits also.

Any way to slow it down or clean it more easily ?

Thanks,

Whole house water filter or possibly a water softener would get rid of
some solids. Fine rust can wear faucet washers quickly. When I moved
into this house I'd change the Delta seals every six month and after
adding a sediment filter they went for 20 years.
