Here at Coordinated Kitchen & Bath in North Vancouver we like to use materials that are both beautiful and sustainable. The dual flush toilet mechanism allows both to co-exist.
The dual flush toilet was originally invented in Australia as a way to conserve water in a climate where water is typically scarce. The toilet is increasingly being used around the world.
Standard toilets use a siphoning tube to remove waste from the toilet bowl. A high level of water enters the siphon after the toilet flush fills the siphon and pulls waste and water down the drain. When air enters into the tube again, the siphoning action stops. Dual flush toilets use a larger trap way than siphoning toilets do and a flush mechanism that pushes waste down through the drain. Because no siphon is used, dual flush toilets require less water per flush.
Through the use of half-flushes for liquid waste and reduced water usage on full flushes, the dual flush toilet can save over 60% more water than the standard toilet.
While the cost of purchasing a dual flush toilet can be a little more than for a standard toilet, here at Coordinated Kitchen & Bath we hope you take a good look at what is available on the market before purchasing a new toilet.
