Dual flush toilets are designed for water conservation, featuring two buttons for different types of waste. The larger button uses 6-9 liters of water for solid waste, while the smaller button uses only 3-4.5 liters for liquid waste. This distinction helps reduce unnecessary water consumption and promotes efficiency.
Using the dual flush system correctly can save up to 20,000 liters of water annually compared to traditional toilets. Although the initial cost may be higher, the long-term savings on water bills and environmental benefits make it a worthwhile investment.
Introduced in 1976 by designer Victor Papanek and implemented in Australia in 1980, dual flush toilets have become a global standard. They are not only eco-friendly but also add a sleek, modern look to contemporary bathrooms.
