I keep having to replace the ball valve on the loft water tank. They start dripping and the tank starts overflowing.
The last one lasted a year. How long should they last? Why might they fail so often - the one before that may have lasted about 3 years, though I cannot be certain it was as long as that?
Any ideas?

Mines been there for 25 + years. I rarely change them for people, maybe 3 or 4 in the last 4 years. They all seem to drip a little mind. More of a 'weep'.
GPG was thinking very hard :
We have four - two header tanks and two toilets, all put in 25 years ago. In that time I have replaced one of those on one of the the toilets.
erode them.
Have you got high water pressure? If so have you got the right type of valve?
Have you tried just changing the washer?
