Every single toilet I've seen in the US over the past several decades, single or dual flush, has used the more leak-prone drop valve system anyway. So here in the US at least it doesn't sound like dual flush will be contributing to more leakage.
There is a bigger problem here though, which is that manufacturers seem to have no incentive to develop leakproof designs since they aren't paying for failures, and there isn't strict enough regulation on these products.
- moonbug 6y agoyes, but US toilets are disgustingly wet.
- asdff 6y agoThe reason for that problem is that no one really cares and it isn't as big of an issue as it seems. Toilet is running? Jiggling the handle is likely to free up the debris that is blocking the valve, since the debris obstructing the valve is the chain itself that controls the valve flap. Once in a blue moon the chain may slip off the handle, but that only requires fishing your hand in and reattaching the chain. No one is going to bother reinventing the wheel and finding 100 more problems in the process in order to fix what is probably 5 seconds of effort a few times a year.
