Dual-flush toilets use less water for liquid waste and more for solid waste. Here is what Huntsville homeowners should consider before upgrading.
How dual flush works
A dual-flush toilet has two buttons: one for a light flush and one for a full flush. The light flush uses roughly half the water of a standard flush, which adds up fast in a busy household.
The savings
Toilets are the biggest water user in most homes. In Walker County, a dual-flush unit can cut toilet water use noticeably over a year, especially in a family bathroom that gets heavy use.
The tradeoffs
The lighter flush sometimes needs a second push for solids, and some early models had more mechanical parts to fail. Newer designs are far better than the first generation.
