Reason behind two buttons on the flush!!!

There are many such things in the world that we see everyday but even after that we do not know much about them. One of these is the toilet flush present in your house. Yes, when you go to the washroom in your home, office, shopping mall or any other place, you must have noticed that there is often a big and a small button in the flush, but have you ever wondered why it is so. When both the buttons are used for the same thing, why is there no single button? Or even if there are two buttons what is the difference between them? 

Actually, a special reason is hidden behind making them. To understand this reason in simple language, then both these levers or buttons made in modern toilets are connected to an exit valve. By pressing the big button, about 6 liters of water comes out, whereas by pressing the small button, 3 to 4.5 liters of water comes out. people not only use them according to their need, but there is also a direct connection to making them with water saving.

Huge savings throughout the year!

According to media reports, many people use normal flush in their homes. Normal flushes are also somewhat cheaper than dual flushes, but do you know that if you use Dual Flushing instead of Single Flush after going to the washroom in your house or any place, then you can get about 20 thousand liters in a year. That is, even though the installation of Dual Flush is a bit expensive, but due to this, you can get a huge cut in the water bill.
