You’ve seen them.
Every modern bathroom has them. Two buttons on the toilet tank — one big, one small.
And if you’re like most people, you might press both… or just one… without really thinking about it.
But here’s the truth: 👉 Those two buttons aren’t just design flair. They’re part of a smart system called a dual flush toilet — one of the simplest ways to save water, cut bills, and reduce your environmental footprint.
Let’s break down how they actually work — so you can stop guessing and start saving.
Because real sustainability isn’t about grand gestures. It’s about small choices — like which button you press. 💧
🔍 How Dual Flush Toilets Work (The Smart Way)
Dual flush toilets give you two flushing options — each designed for a different type of waste:
✅Large Button (Full Flush)
For solid waste
~6–9 liters (1.6–2.4 gallons)
✅Small Button (Half Flush)
For liquid waste
~3–4.5 liters (0.8–1.2 gallons)
💡 By choosing the right flush, you avoid using double the water when you don’t need to.
🔁 Pro Tip: If the half-flush doesn’t clear the bowl, wait 10 seconds and try again — don’t automatically hit both buttons!
