Many people are unaware of the true
Many modern toilets feature dual flush buttons, though their water-saving purpose isn’t always clear. The larger button (6-9 liters) is meant for solid waste, while the smaller one (3-4.5 liters) handles liquid waste. Using them correctly can save households about 20,000 liters annually compared to single-flush models, reducing both environmental impact and water bills.
First proposed by Victor Papanek in 1976 and pioneered in Australia by 1980, dual-flush systems may cost more initially but offer long-term savings. This simple design encourages efficient water use with every flush.
