Discover how dual-flush toilets conserve water and save on bills with two buttons designed for liquid and solid waste.
Modern dual-flush
toilets
are often misunderstood, with many
people
thinking the two buttons are merely decorative.
However, these buttons
are designed
to save water: the
larger
button is for solid waste, using 6-9 liters of water, while the smaller button is for liquid waste, using 3-4.5 liters.
When
used properly
, dual-flush toilets can help households save up to 20,000 liters of water each year compared to traditional single-flush systems. Though initially more costly, this system, introduced in Australia in
1980
, benefits
both
the environment and household finances.
