How Dual Flush Toilet Is Useful For Us ?

By Scott Rodgers

Popularity of dual flush toilets is increasing at a tremendous rate because they help in saving a lot of water. If you want to save the environment as well as money in your pocket then it is a good option to go with.

A dual flush system is two-button flushing system. Half flush is used for liquid waste and a full flush for solid waste. With the push of button you can select one among them. When the liquid or half-flush selection is made, the dual flush toilet uses around 3/4 of a gallon of water to flush away liquid waste.

When the solid or full-flush selection is made, the dual flush toilet uses about one and half gallon of water to flush solid waste away. It uses bowl water along with tank water for removing waste.

It is clear that amount of water used for removing solid waste is double than used for removing liquid waste but still this system consumes less water than old models of flushing system.

Many standard toilets use between three to five gallons (approximately 19 liters) of water in every flush. However, a dual flush toilet saves a lot of water. Maximum amount of water used by this system for a single flush is around 6 liters, which is much less than used in other systems.

Dual flush toilets only use the power of water to flush away the waste whereas conventional toilets uses combination of air and water pressure for flushing. It also causes less water consumption in dual flush toilets. Generally these toilets have larger hole at the bottom to allow water to flow faster and with good pressure.

Hence, dual flush system saves a lot of water for you. Normally a major portion of water is consumed in toilets and you can reduce that amount by having this flush system.

You should try to conserve water in every small and big thing like flushing, showering, and washing hands. It is very important to keep your environment safe and healthy by conserving water. A dual flush toilet will help you in saving a considerable amount of water and money in form of utility bills. - 30517
