Has anyone else had a problem with those bleach type cleaners that sit in the toilet tank and work every time the toilet is flushed?

I used to use a cleaner like that years ago and we noticed that the bleach caused the rubber flap inside the tank to warp and the seal was compromised. The water from the tank was slowly leaking into the bowl.

This resulted in higher water bills and the need to replace the rubber flap. I don't put bleach in the tank anymore. Occasionally I'll use regular bleach in the bowl to control stains and to disinfect.

Clorox sent me some little samples in the mail and one was a packet of those toilet tank tablets with bleach. I'm afraid to use them because I don't want any damage to the flap.

Can anyone tell me if these newer tablets are safe for the flap?

Thanks!
