Many new US toilets have dual flush ( I have one).It seems US toilets are rather different to UK ones. Mine has two buttons on the top - one gives a full flush and one gives a reduced flush.
Mine's been going 11 years and counting.Hey ! We have those two buttons type.
It only last 3 months though.
It's the outstanding quality of our waterMine's been going 11 years and counting.
The problem in my area is calcium build up on the flush passage. Then the flapper gets a slow leak.I use something like this in an apartment I own (link).
They are a little pricey, but being all plastic they do not have corrosion issues like the metal chains do. I was replacing metal chain flappers every 6 to 9 months.
I get maybe 5 years out of this. Failure has been the external handle. No rust issues.
And the current will corrode one of them away unless an AC feed is used.Have you tried probes in the cistern to see if there might be issues with condensation on them or bridging them?
