Exactly, that’s why I mentioned that I stopped using the bricks. I just want more robust buttons to replace the corroded ones, now.
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.
Edit: went ahead and ordered duplicate replacements.
