The Two Buttons on Your Toilet: Not Just for Flushing!
Have you ever wondered about the purpose of the two buttons on your toilet? While they may seem decorative, they serve an important function when it comes to conserving water. These buttons are standard on dual flush toilets, which are designed to be both economical and environmentally conscious by maximizing water efficiency.
The Function of a Dual Flush Toilet
In a dual flush toilet, the larger button is typically used to flush solid waste, which requires about 6 to 9 liters of water. This allows you to minimize water usage without sacrificing effective waste removal. On the other hand, the smaller button is intended for liquid waste, releasing only 3-4.5 liters of water. By choosing the appropriate button, you can significantly reduce your water consumption and lower your water bill.
Environmental Impact
By switching from older, single-flush models to dual flush toilets, an average American household can save up to 20,000 liters of water per year. This reduction in water usage helps conserve this precious resource, benefiting the environment.
Financial Benefits
While dual flush toilets may have a higher upfront cost, the long-term savings on water bills more than make up for it. Additionally, these toilets have less impact on the environment, supporting sustainability in regions where water shortages are a growing concern.
