Functional Benefits of Installing Dual Flush Tank

Designing your bathroom, adding bathroom fittings, and picking out the ideal bathroom fittings can all be a little overwhelming for you to process. With the wide range of options available in the market, the choices are endless, further adding to the chaos. It is often advisable to make smart choices in terms of adding sanitary fittings, and one such smart decision is to add a dual flush tank system.

How is adding a dual flush tank system a smart choice? Yes, we get that question a lot, and here in this blog, we will help you understand and discover the smart reasons behind using this technology in your bathroom.

Understanding Dual Flush Tank Fitting

At the beginning of this blog, we stated that adding a dual flush tank system in your bathroom is a smart decision that you can make. Let’s understand the concept of a dual flush tank system in depth. 

When you install a Western or Indian toilet in your bathroom, it is accompanied by a flush tank that is installed along with it. This flush tank consists of 6-9 liters of water that is used to flush out the waste. Since this tank holds a fixed amount of water and the lever present allows it to release this water, there is usually no control over how much water is to be released. This is one of the biggest problems that you will encounter with a single flush tank or a single flush system. 

To solve this issue and offer a water-conserving approach the dual flush tank system was designed. Here the flush tank is designed in such a way that it consists of two buttons, where one button is bigger compared to the second one. This difference is to indicate the amount of water being used for the flush, such as smaller buttons indicating less amount of water whereas bigger buttons indicate more amount of water being released. Furthermore, this provides two flushes in the system. This dual-flush tank system is now one of the most commonly found systems to be installed in all settings. 

This dual flush tank fitting is also referred to as half-flush since only half or a limited amount of water is being used in a single flush. This further contributes to the water-conserving nature of the system, making it an ideal and smart choice. 

Flush Tank Parts Required

Since we have already discussed the necessity of installing a dual flush tank system, this entire system requires a few specific parts to be installed such as: 

• Cistern

The cistern or the flush tank can be either wall-mounted or concealed. In a concealed cistern, this cistern would be installed inside the wall which would further add to the appealing visuals of the bathroom. This cistern or flush tank holds the water and is connected directly to the water line. Here the key point to be considered is that for a bigger flush tank about 6-9 liters of water can be stored whereas for a smaller flush tank, this capacity is for 3-4 liters.

The flushing efficiency here plays a major role which allows the user to choose for a partial flush, saving water. The flushing efficiency here can be 3-6 liters per flush.  

• Flush plates

These flush plates are installed with dual flush technology to help you use the flush as per your requirements. These plates are connected to the flush valves. 

• Flush system 

The overall combination of flush valves, plates, and cisterns is regarded as an entire flush system. This flush system is further embedded with dual flush technology for the water conservation approach. 

Benefits of Dual Flush Tank

Now that we have discussed why adding a dual flush tank system is a smart decision, here are a few additional benefits that you can reap by installing this in your bathroom. 

• Durability 

These dual flush tank systems are designed in a highly durable design that can sustain for a longer time. With brands like Johnson Bathrooms the durability and the quality of these flush tanks is unmatched. 

• Convenience 

Installing a flush tank with dual flush technology adds to the convenience of using limited amounts of water as per convenience. 

• Water-conservation 

Since less amount of water is used with each flush (half-flush) the entire design further contributes to the water conservation nature of this system, allowing it to be a smart choice. Furthermore, with a bigger flush tank the water storage capacity goes up to 6-9 liters whereas for a smaller flush tank, this is reduced to almost half with 3-4 liters only. In addition to this, the flush volume for a small flush can range up to 2-4 liters whereas for a large flush tank this can be 7-8 liters.  

• Cost-effective 

Installing a dual flush tank system is a cost-effective solution from all perspectives as it helps to reduce the water consumption and water bill, along with less maintenance requirements. 

• Easy Installation

The dual flush tank fitting is fairly easy to install and doesn’t require any specific plumbing to be installed or added. 

Flush Tank with Concealed Cisterns

Be it a dual flush or a single flush tank system it is required to pair it with an ideal cistern as well. It is however recommended to install a concealed cistern along with the dual flush tank fitting. This is done to enhance the overall appearance of the bathroom and uplift the overall ambiance as well. 

Since the concealed cistern is installed inside the wall, it reduces the noise and helps to create a clean organized look for your bathroom. This is an ideal installation for a small as well as large size bathroom as with a concealed cistern, the wall appears clean further adding to the decluttered look of the entire space.
