Lever-style dual flush: Some toilets use a split-level lever instead of buttons. The principle is the same—one direction for a light flush, the other for a full one.
Sensor-based smart flush: Advanced toilets may have sensors that detect the type of waste and flush accordingly, removing the need to choose.
FAQ:
Q: What happens if I always use the large flush button?
A: You’ll use more water than necessary, leading to higher bills and unnecessary waste. The small button is just as effective for liquids.
Q: Is it bad if I press both buttons at once?
A: Pressing both typically results in a full flush, but it can put extra wear on the mechanism over time. Stick to one at a time.
Q: How much water can I save using the small button?
A: Depending on usage, a family can save thousands of liters of water per year by using the small flush appropriately.
Q: My toilet doesn’t flush well with the small button—what can I do?
A: If the partial flush seems weak, your toilet may need maintenance, or it might be an older model. Consider adjusting the internal flush mechanism or consulting a plumber.
So next time you're in the bathroom, remember: those two buttons aren't just for show—they're a small but powerful tool in the fight against water waste. Use them wisely!
