Does anyone make a fill valve that you can use the chlorine pucks with?

I've looked at the Fluidmaster and Korky documentation and they both say "Do not use bleach tablets in the toilet tank".

Surely, someone must make a valve that'll stand up to the bleach... does anyone know which brand does?
Thanks

The "Flush 'n Sparkle" doesn't do a darn thing. I'm going back to chlorine "pucks". If I need to replace washers, so be it. In the mean time, I'll be rid of the streaks and muck.

I know somebody who uses slow release pool chlorine tablets in the tank like that, although he knows he is not supposed to. He figures he can replace the parts pretty easily.

The Fluidmaster Flush n Sparkle, and Kaboom Scrub Free bleach cleaners are good, because they go in series with the bowl-refill tube and dump the chemical down the overflow to the bowl. The Kaboom can be reloaded, not only from the product they sell, with a slow-dissolve swimming pool or spa chlorine or bromine product. They put no chemical into the tank water.

The downside is that they pass the refill water through the gadget and more tubing. So it is possible that they could reduce the refill. If you used a refill with an adjustable refill rate, you may be able to compensate.

It's not only the fill valve that can be affected by the chlorine...the seals that go under the bolts on a 2-piece and the seal on the flapper to bowl as well as the flapper valve itself, while resistant to chlorine, all eventually fail and need to be replaced unless you're on say a well or do not have treated water coming in. Adding more chlorine, and it could become quite concentrated if the thing isn't used often, just speeds that degradation up.

Thanks to all of you. I'm heading to my "home supply" store to look for the Kaboom or Flush 'n sparkle.
