: our flush valves have to be replaced every 3 months or less. once a new flush valve lasted only 2 weeks. Since we have 3 toilets in the house, we spend a fortune on flush valves. We only use fluidmaster brand, which I've heard is the best. We always try the flapper first, this almost never works. We even had a water pressure regulator installed on the main line. What else could be wrong?

I assume you are referring to fill valves or ball cocks or you talking about the flapper and overflow? You could be getting sediment into the fill valve causing it to malfunction, the remedy to this would be to install a sediment filter at the water source.
