I’m not sure Home Improvement is the correct sub for this, but I’m looking to replace my dual flush actuators with metal ones instead of these chromes plastic ones that corroded due to the bleach fumes from using bleach bricks in the tanks. I’ve stopped using them, but I still need to replace the actuators or buttons and I want something more robust.

Edit: went ahead and ordered duplicate replacements.

    Those bricks also corrode the gaskets for the tank. I would recommend avoiding them in the future and your toilet is probably eventually going to start leaking. They sell gasket rebuild kits though, they aren’t super expensive.

      I already broke everything down and replaced the seal inside the tank. That’s why I was going to replace the actuators this week, too.

      Having not received any good metal options from here, or from searching, I’ll probably just end up buying identical replacements to the originals.

      But, yes. I stopped using the bricks because of the harm of the parts and seals within the tank water, on top of the corrosion to the actuators themselves.
