Why does my toilet have two flush buttons?
Since their inception in 1980, dual-flush toilets were made to reduce the amount of water flushed during use. They feature two different buttons to perform two different kinds of flushes. The difference in buttons depends on the waste in the toilet. One button for liquid waste, another for solid waste.
How do dual flush buttons work?
The toilet has two buttons on the cistern rather than the single-flush one; one button delivers a lesser amount of water (eg. 3 litres) and the other a greater amount (eg. 6 litres). It also uses a larger 10 cm trapway in the bowl, allowing for water to come out faster and clear the bowl efficiently.
Which button do you press on a toilet?
The smaller button is pressed most of the time. A firm press and a short hold should do it. The bigger, half moon shaped, button alone or both buttons in combination should give you the biggest flush.

How do you adjust the water level in a dual flush toilet?
Tightening this screw clockwise lowers the water, while loosening it counterclockwise allows the float to rise higher as the tank fills. The other way to adjust the water level is by pressing together the two sides of the lock that attach the float valve to the fill valve assembly rail mounted on the side.
How do you use a flush button?
The flush valve’s job is to rush water from the cistern into the toilet bowl to wash away waste. We begin this operation by pushing the flush button, which is connected by a cable to the flush valve. This works in much the same way as the brake on a bicycle.
Which button is short flush?
A dual flush button features two buttons that can flush different amounts of water. The main purpose of a dual flush button is to save water. The dual flush button allows the user to control the waste water. The smaller button (half flush) delivers a smaller volume of water than the larger button (full flush).
What do the buttons on a toilet mean?
IT IS FOR WATER CONSERVATION: The larger lever is to flush out around 6 to 9 liters of water, whereas the smaller lever is to flush out around 3 to 4.5 liters of water. Clearly, the larger one is to flush solid waste and the smaller one is to flush liquid waste.
Do you have to hold the button down to flush the toilet?
If the toilet doesn’t flush completely unless you hold the handle down, it is usually because the flapper is not lifting fully away from the flush valve. If the toilet flushes just fine but continues to run, the flapper probably does not fit properly into the flush valve opening.
