It outputs water in both 3 litre (0.8-gallon) and 6 litre (1.6-gallon) capacities. The smaller level is designed for liquid waste, and the larger is designed for solid waste. It also uses a larger 4-inch (10 cm) trap way in the bowl, allowing for water to come out faster and clear the bowl efficiently. Benelave's dual flushing mechanism with 3 or 6 litres flush option reduces water consumption by up to 67% in regular home usage.
