Have you ever wondered why the two buttons on the back of the toilet are not the same size?
In fact, many people simply don't know how to use it, and most of them use it incorrectly.
Is it for good looks?
Speaking of toilets, many people actually think that this is a very unsightly thing.
But we have to admit that the toilet is also a very important presence in our lives.
What's more, the toilet is also known as "one of mankind's greatest inventions". Its place in public health can be compared to something like antibiotics, which speaks volumes about the status of toilets.
In fact, toilets can be seen as the object of joint research in both China and the West.
According to relevant information, there were records of toilets in the Han Dynasty, but the toilets at that time were not called this name. Instead, they are called "tigers".
It is said that this was a convenient solution for the emperor when he suddenly wanted to go to the toilet while at the court.
The toilets used by the emperor were all made of very high-grade materials. On the other hand, the toilets in civilian homes are very casual, and many of them are made of wood.
This is really just the prototype of the toilet.
But in 1596, an English aristocrat named John Harrington had the whims to design a flush toilet.
And this is the "ancestor" of the toilet we use now.
When this invention was first invented, it was already sent to Queen Elizabeth's palace.
However, this first-draft toilet actually has a drawback, that is, it did not successfully solve the ozone problem, which also brought some unpleasant odors to people in the subsequent use process.
Later this problem was solved by other inventors.
Since then, people have been improving the toilets, and all kinds of small problems are being optimized.
The toilets we use today have actually gone through many iterations.
Not only that, but in today's market, we can also see a variety of toilets, and even some smart toilets, such as toilets with automatic induction, automatic heating, and automatic flushing functions.
Nowadays, people are very picky about the choice of toilets. It should not only look good, but also have complete functions, including a variety of advanced and intelligent functions.
But when buying a toilet, we can find that no matter what price the toilet is, as long as there is a flush button, there are two buttons on the flush button, and it is one large and one small. What does that mean? What does it do?
There is a good saying that nothing exists is useless. Since it exists, it has a reason to exist.
Some say that maybe it's just a design. The designer deliberately made such a design in order to look good.
But we can think about it, if it's really about looking good, then why can't it be set up for something else? And even for different brands, they set the two buttons to different sizes.
In fact, there is a big story behind these two differently sized buttons.
The real effect behind it.
If you think these two buttons are just for good looks, you're very wrong. It's actually a small water-saving design. If used properly, it will save a lot of water.
What we need to know is that these two buttons have their own names: "Big Punch, Small Punch".
As the name suggests, use a small flush when urinating and a large flush when defecating.
The most obvious difference between the two buttons is actually the amount of water pressure.
If you press the small flush button, you can clearly feel that the speed and pressure of the water coming out of the toilet bowl is not particularly high, because it only discharges half a tank of water at a time.
Naturally, then, the water flow speed and water pressure of the big button must be very powerful. When you press the big button, the entire tank of water will all flow out.
Many people say, isn't this the difference between big and small rushes? Is it necessary to exaggerate so much?
But what most people don't know is that when this button was designed, it was actually designed to allow people to save water.
If you use this button correctly, you can save a lot of money on your water bill in a year.
But in everyday life, many people don't really care about it. Instead, they just press it casually.
This casually means pressing a big button and a small button at the same time. This is actually a very bad habit.
We can imagine that a large flush is a full tank of water, and a small flush is a half tank of water. If they are pressed together, it can cause substantial damage to the toilet bowl and increase the load movement of the toilet.
In this way, it is likely that the flush button will not ** and will even increase the wear and tear of the toilet, thus shortening its lifespan. Even toilets are designed to conserve water, which is the opposite of this.
Therefore, when we use the toilet flush, the most correct thing to do is to flush the stool and urinate small.
Although the button style and design are slightly different between toilets, they are still very similar overall, and the principle of use is the same.
Not only that, but we also need to pay attention to some hygiene and safety when using the toilet.
A little bit about toilets.
Do you know how dirty the toilets we use every day?
Relevant data shows that after flushing the toilet, when we look at the clean toilet, there are as many as 100,000 bacteria on it.
That is, almost the entire toilet is filled with germs.
Even the glass rubber ring that holds the toilet bowl in place can breed bacteria over time. If not cleaned regularly, it can even emit a pungent "foul odor".
So, in our daily lives, what we often have to do is clean the toilet.
It's not a big deal, but it's not a big deal. After all, it's about the health of your family.
But usually many people don't bother to clean up when they get home. After a busy day's work, they just want to lie in bed and stay motionless.
However, it is recommended that you still take a certain amount of time to clean the toilet. This is not only for your own benefit, but also for the health of your family.
Of course, if you go out, it is recommended to choose to squat. After all, the toilet is a very private thing.
Nowadays, with the development of technology, many homes have installed smart toilets, which do not require manual flushing at all.
However, the ** of this kind of toilet is naturally higher, and for most families, it is not needed at all.
Therefore, when we choose a toilet, we must choose the most suitable one for our home according to our own needs, and do not blindly follow the trend.
Proper use of the toilet can help everyone extend the life of the toilet and can also save some water resources. Why not?
