You’ve probably seen those toilets with two buttons at the top… But do you really know what they’re for? No, they’re not just decorative or a gimmick: these buttons help you save precious water every day. And considering this resource is becoming increasingly valuable, it’s truly worth using them properly. We’ll explain everything!
Toilets unlike any other
Dual-flush toilets, increasingly common in our homes, feature two separate buttons. Their purpose? Regulating water consumption based on needs.
A small button releases an average of 3 to 4.5 liters of water, which is ideal for flushing liquid waste. A large button, on the other hand, uses around 6 to 9 liters of water, which is ideal for flushing solid waste. It’s a simple difference, but it helps avoid wasting several liters of water every time you use the toilet.
This ingenious concept isn’t new! It was first implemented in Australia in the 1980s during a severe drought. The idea quickly caught on: today, dual-flush toilets are standard in modern, environmentally friendly homes.
Impressive water savings
Wondering how much water you can actually save? Up to 20,000 liters per year per household! Yes, you read that right.

Tips for tool construction and use:
Use spot or continuous welding to join steel plates.
Mark holes with a mandrel before drilling for greater accuracy.
Apply an anti-corrosion coating to extend the life of metal parts.
Customize the tool to your needs: adjust hinge positions, change plate sizes, or add new clamps.
Practice on scrap pieces first to fine-tune the angles and clamping force before using it on real projects.
This tool will not only increase the precision of your work but also save time and reduce errors. It’s a simple yet powerful addition to your workshop—a versatile tool that can significantly improve the quality of your home creations.
