Conserve Water! Convert your existing toilet into a water saving dual-flush in 10 minutes

Step 8 Test flush

If you've done everything correctly, the ball should raise and lower with each flush without contacting anything in the tank.

It's also nice to notice just how much water you're saving with each flush when you look at the old watermark on the inside of the tank!

Believe it or not the toilet is now a dual-flush.

For liquids, simply press and release the flush handle like you normally would. The toilet should give you a clean flush completely evacuating any liquid in the bowl.

For solids, simply hold the handle down for a few seconds for a more complete flush which will use all the water in the tank. If one flush just doesn't cut it, you can always flush a second time.

Happy flushing!!!!

So by dual-flush you meant "not dual flush." Haha. Most modern toilets I've worked on (not that many) the duration of your flush doesn't matter as the flappers are designed not to close until the tank has almost completely emptied whether you are holding the handle or not.

Nice easy instructable, just found the title misleading!
