How to Choose the Right Dual Flush Tank for Your Toilet

bathroom flush tanks

Bathrooms are playing a key role in establishing the perfect aura of your house. It becomes essential to choose the right fittings for your bathroom to make it the absolute place of comfort and class. It should radiate your own energy and speak for itself at the same time.

One of the crucial aspects of the bathroom is the flushing tank that is being installed in the toilet. In traditional flush tanks, the water consumption was very high which from an environmental perspective is not good. Whereas, using the advanced modern flush tank available, water conservation is possible.

While picking out a suitable flush tank fitting for your bathroom, it is important to read the following points and have a better understanding of the options available.

Flush Tanks

When it comes to choosing a flush tank for the bathroom, there are three main categories to be considered.

Concealed Flush Tank

As the name suggests, this flush tank is wall-mounted and is not visible in the toilet. This allows you to have a clean wall without any visible flush tank fitting. Only the flush button is visible. This is one of the most commonly used examples in modern bathrooms.

Open Flush Tank

This flush tank is clearly visible in the bathroom, with the fittings. This is a traditional design that has been in use for a long time. Here, the repair or replacement of the valve in case of any leakage is easy as the tank is in the open.

Flush Valve

In flush valve technology, a device is installed inside the toilet bowl for flushing away the waste. This method is not commonly used in households, but common practice in public places.

Furthermore, understanding the types of flush tanks available, let’s move toward the flush technology. Here the difference is very clear and is categorised into Dual or Single Flush Tank.

Dual Flush Tank

In dual flush tanks, there is a slight difference when it comes to the functioning or appearance of the flush tank. Here instead of having a single flush button, there are two different buttons available on the flush panel.

Among these two buttons, one is smaller in size than the other button, indicating their water consumption. The smaller button is used to flush liquid waste which requires less water, and the bigger button is for the solid waste, requiring more water consumption.

Single Flush Tank

Single flush tank is a very common type of flush tank available and has been used prominently for a long period of time. Here only a single button is present on the panel for flushing, and requires the same amount of water for both liquid and solid waste.

Adopting Dual Flush Tank

The dual flush system is being adopted by the majority of people for all good reasons. The working mechanism of a dual flush tank is slightly different from that of a normal or single flush.

Here with two buttons two different mechanisms take place. As mentioned above the dual flush tank comes with two buttons- smaller for liquid flush and bigger for solid flush. It also consists of flap valves/ toilet siphons as a part of its working mechanism.

The smaller button is also called a half-flush. In this half-flush, the flow of water is interrupted in between, allowing it to use less amount of water. With this, the dual flush tank is working its way toward water conservation.

Concealed Cistern

Concealed cisterns are the latest trend that is being followed by a majority of people worldwide. These cisterns are mounted inside the wall and not visible on the wall. The flush tank fittings are also not visible as they are also concealed inside the wall.

Another aspect behind concealed cisterns is that they offer a very clean and neat look to the bathroom wall, allowing you more space to experiment with (wall tiles or wall paints). The entire wall is available for you to portray the story that you want.

Here are some of the concealed cisterns that you can explore for the Johnson Bathroom Collection.

Here are some of the most common benefits that you will get to witness with installing concealed cisterns.

Provides a clean, modern, and sophisticated look to the bathroom.
Offers more available space in the bathroom.
Less noise as the tank is sealed inside the wall.
The flush button or panel can be adjusted at any convenient height.
Less maintenance is required, as the technology is modern and cutting-edge.

Maintaining the Flush Tank Fittings

Installing the bathroom fittings is one thing, maintaining and keeping the fittings in a working condition is another. Proper care and regular maintenance of the occurring issues (if any) can help you to keep your repair work to a minimum.

Here are a few tips to ensure that your bathroom fittings are long-lasting:

Regular checks and maintenance
Proper cleaning of your flush tank
Quick resolution of leakage issues (if any)
Replacing the flush valve at regular intervals
Unclogging the clogged toilet

Conclusion

Ensuring the above-mentioned points while selecting the flush tank and maintaining it properly will help you have a seamless bathroom space. Regular checks and updates will help you repair the issues beforehand rather than getting involved in the renovation or repair works.
