I’m actually serious, which button is the right one? Why are there two?
Also should a Pic of a toilet be considered NSFW?
The ones I’ve seen have symbols like “I / II” on the buttons, so you know which is which. Others here have explained the purpose. I guess in your picture, the #2 button is the bigger one.
So the smaller seashell shape makes a small flush. The larger seashell shape makes a bigger flush, and the combined seashell shape (both buttons) makes a huge flush.
The secret of the 3 shells finally revealed!
I’ve had 3 of these toilets for the last 4 years and I never knew you could COMBINE flush?!
It’s only two flush sizes. Pressing both doesn’t do anything more.
People are joking about this but I have a toilet where the large button is for a half flush. Pressing the small button depresses both buttons performing a regular flush. I have never found another toilet like this, thank the stars!
I am also in the large button, small flush gang. I assume it’s that way so the flush you use most frequently is bigger, but it does seem counterintuitive.
This is insanity.
From my experience, the large button does the flush, but the size of the flush depends on how far you push it down. The small one simply pulls the large flush button down with it, but stops it from going more than half-way, resulting in a smaller flush.
Small flushes are more common, so it makes some sense to make that button larger.
I think your button had been rotated
Pure anarchy.
The toilet I am currently sitting on has a very similar set up. The toilet came with the house, and I haven’t been able to discern a difference in the 8 years I’ve lived here.
Small one for a #1, big one for a #2 and both for a #3.
#3 is for what comes out your three-hole.
Test it out. One is less water and the other releases more water.
IT IS FOR WATER CONSERVATION: The larger lever is to flush out around 6 to 9 liters of water, whereas the smaller lever is to flush out around 3 to 4.5 liters of water. Clearly, the larger one is to flush solid waste and the smaller one is to flush liquid waste.
I thought it was one for pee, two for poo.
The one at my gas station is labelled I and II.
Yes, in practicality, this is it.
That’s very informative thank you! Might have to look into these myself for when/if I have the chance to buy a house in The future.
Get a bumgun/bidet hose, best thing ever for butt cleanliness and general ring health.
Gotta say if you’re going far enough to do some additional plumbing, you might as well go the whole way and get a Japanese toilet.
No other toilet compares since
Seriously had to make a post to figure this out?
There is this other line of thinking. Most frequently used should be more easily accessible hence bigger. That is what is causing confusion here.
I say we should call this Game Cube controller’s logic.
One of the buttons might have been the “evacuate bowl onto floor” option. Aren’t all toilets like this? Flushing was a fun adrenaline-fueled adventure the first time before I knew which button was which.
I read that as “evacuate bowel onto floor” and I was confused as to what sort of technology can achieve that sort of an effect.
Yeah I pretty much only see these nowadays. In my youth it was more common for there to be a knob you had to lift.
A man needs to know how to flush after a good log.
Sure, sure, I can respect that.
But when did “trial and error” go out the window for humanity in favour of “I should post about this”?
It’s funnier to ask.
Fair’s fair, that’s honest and I believe you. I would probably also find some toilets somewhere in the world slightly amusing due to what I’m personally accustomed to.
I’ve seen those at people’s houses, but it’s inappropriate to sit there and play with their toilet. I press whichever button I hit first and if it works, I go about my business.
…. Having no idea whether it was correct
I never knew I would stumble upon these wise words on such a difficult night
I hope my wisdom has made your night just a little better.
This is your standard dual flush. One is flush, the other is eject. Which is which depends on the manufacturer. Just be careful, the eject can be quite forceful.
As for which button is the right one, it’s definitely the one on the right. The other is the left button.
The small one’s Stun, big one’s Kill
Small one is for #1, bigger one for #2.
This is so wholesome, never be concerned about asking questions like this. Most folks are lurkers, I’m sure your question educated more folks than you realize. Be well out there.
Personally I think I could have worked out a 2 button system myself via trial and error. It’s hardly a high risk activity.
Then how DO you use the 3 seashells?
One is forward/play, the other is rewind. DON’T push rewind.
So pressing both of them at same time takes a screenshot?
Yeah but if the toilet has WiFi it automatically shares a pic with anyone in the house so gotta switch that off.
Unless you really want to ;D
don’t
One extra feature most of these have is small=3L, large=6L, large but hold the button down=9L.
I hope those volumes are discharge and not…err… discharge
