Default Heads up: Multikwik multiflush valve washer

Had a callback on a multikwik push-button flush valve I'd installed
about 18 months ago: it was letting by (water running into the pan)
continuously. Found the black washer at the bottom of the drop-valve had
gone soft (easy to get at: the mechanism unclips like a light bulb). I
replaced it with the washer from a spare valve I had with me and later
contacted multikwik who acknowledged that there's a problem with the
material used for these washers in hard water areas, and sent out some
replacements. The new washers are grey.
