Default Toilet flapper valves

About every two years my toilets start leaking into the bowl enough that they periodically refill. I guess my water is aggressive enough to eat away at them.

Last time I paid my plumber to do it instead of me, thinking he would have better quality parts. Nope, he went to Home Depot and bought the same stuff I did.

Is there anything better out there that will last a bit longer? Or is this just routine maintenance like filter changes.


I do not know what your toilets are. Mine are all different but the
only one I have trouble with is a finicky Toto where I have had to
replace the flapper several times and must use OEM with a larger than
normal flapper. I also required a new flush lever and only OEM would
work. I have another different type Toto that has never malfunctioned.
