Dual flush systems allow you to choose between a full flush for solid waste and a reduced flush for liquid waste, significantly saving water and lowering your utility bills.
Is professional installation required?
While designed for DIY installation with clear instructions, professional plumbing assistance is recommended if you are unsure about any step of the process.
