Are you doing anything to conserve water?

I don't get it. My two are both syphon flushes and dual flushes. The dual flush simply allows the operator of the flush a choice of a full or part flush.
I was wondering that. How is 4 litres of syphoned water more efficient than 2 litres of water delivered through a valve?
 
A valve based dual flush will eventually leak, and initially, you probably won't even know its happening. Such a system could lose about 50L per day and most people won't even notice. A syphon flush cannot do this.
I should add that we have a dual flush syphon flush (turbo 88), which works well.

My two can be relied upon to do the full flush, but they do sometimes ignore the short flush procedure and do an unintended full flush.

So it is obvious how to run a short flush, I fitted Dymo labels next to the flush handle.
 
The latest increase in our water rates has taken it up to £62 a month - and currently we are £59 in credit. Before the meter was fitted in 2022, we were paying £64.27. I have no idea what it would be if we were still on rates based billing.
 
Not seen rain for weeks here ground already started to crack so have had to water the garden there goes a few bob
 
£20 a month here, and as much as you need/want.

Up here we pay water via council tax. My 25/26 charge for water is £280, waste water charge £320.
