Can someone explain this toilet? You can press the silver part, or you can press the blue part which automatically presses the silver part with it. Which one is regular and which one is water saver?

>> No.1487804

>>1487801
The commies probably want you to use the water saver more frequently, so I'd assume it is the larger button.
Shoulda paid more attention in toilet class

>> No.1487811

protip:
water saver doesn't have enough water to flush a real turd. so you gotta press it like 3 times
mise well just use a full size american flush the first time and be done with it

So silver is probably water saver, then?

I have one of these toilets. Used to have a normal one and it was fine. Then we got a new landlord and they replaced it with a water-saving model because there was a tax rebate going on and they pay the water bill. Well, they used the absolute cheapest model on the market. It is like $79 at Lowes or something. I've had similar low flush toilets at previous rentals and they worked as expected but this one is terrible. Not only does it clog a lot (the s-bend is too narrow) but the flush button is stupid. Weak flush isn't enough to clear piss and strong flush isn't enough to clear turds. I adjusted the float so the tank fills with more water but I still have to hold the button down or the valve closes too soon. How can I adjust the two flush settings to increase their flow?

The one that presses both at the same time is the big flush

One operates a valve flap that will release approx: 50% of the tank water via flush
The Other operates a valve flap that will release approx: 50% of the tank water via flush
By process of deduction, we come to the concluding: >>1487860
is always right. Whichever operates both, obv. And usually the larger is the only one that can be pressed seperately. tldr, large button for small flush

The exception that proves the rule. Isuspect thos stickers are just wrong tbqh, actually, no fucker knows how this works. A one button space should not and never do two different things, its bad UI.
>>1487965
tbf, actually made me go find a cistern 'manual'. It literally says, 'if half flush is not 100%, adjust by blah...' . IT LITERALLY DOES NOT TELL YOU, WHICH IS WHICH. Not even the manufacturers know, what chance do the punters have?

Little button, little flush; bigger button, bigger flush. What doesn’t seam logical about that?

'Bigger button, bigger flush' - would be the logical principle yeah. Why I doesn;t work physically irl, as I atttempted to explain before being hijacked by cunts with strange toilets, you have to be able to (de)press one part of the button individually. That can only work with the large part of the button, and that can be pressed without the smaller (blue, in this case) part moving. The smaller (blue..) part however, cannot be pressed individually, not unless you use a pencil to poke it or some shit. Thus, pressing the smaller 'blue; bit of the button actually operates both. But it needs to be physically smaller, if you are using this setup.

Then you get cunts upsetting the applecart with shit like >>1487972 - no wonder, everyones confuse. I remain, its simply bad UI, not really much reason for trying to combine both - they should be seperate, ideally.

>buying toilets to save water

I just fill this bad boy up, then pour it in the toilet and flush... one flush for all that piss... the noral person would piss and flush, wasting alot of water to flush a few ounces of piss. I save alot more water than your shitty water saving toilet

if I need to drop a fat turd, I will do that and use the piss to aid in flushing thus needing less water to push that turd down

No no, you put it directly in the toilet not in the water tank

Also the water is mostly unused water, without soap or hair or whatever...

So we're in agreement that nobody knows which is the water saver?

>bangs head against wall
are you trolling now, or, do you require watered daily? Go shit in the traffic you fucking cretin. But no, I was (previously) certain yours would be the big button (which doesn't press the blue little button) for HALF FLUSH. And the blue (little) button, which also presses the Silver (big) button at the same time, thus opening both valves, for FULL FLUSH. Unless you have dainty prodders like >>1488014 (along with an unhealthy interest in LNs reproductive parts) - in which case, you could just press the little blue button on its own, thus defeating the purposes of Life, The Universe and Toilet Designers everywhere. In doubt, you could always, y'know, try it? Bonus points in you place your head carefully in the bowl (better to observe water volume) first.

I can see why you're confused and with someone saying "pressing the blue button activates both", you have to think of it like this:

the blue button tells the toilet to stop early, but it still will flush like the regular silver button
