How Much Water Can You Save?
If a household adopts the dual flush system, it can save up to 20,000 liters of water per year compared to using a single flush. While the initial installation may cost more than a standard flush toilet, it’s an eco-friendly option that helps reduce water bills over time.
The History Behind Dual Flush
The dual flush concept was introduced by American industrial designer Victor Papanek in his 1976 book Design for the Real World. It was first implemented in Australia in 1980.
Using the Dual Flush Correctly
Next time you use the toilet, remember to flush according to your needs. For urine, press the smaller button or lever, which may be marked with a small circle, half-circle, or raindrop symbol. For solid waste, use the larger lever, which may be larger in size or have a corresponding visual indicator.
