TOTO Toilets Help Consumers Navigate the New Normal
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about a new normal to the lives of many people. TOTO makes use of its technology to aid consumers in navigating this New Normal.
Kaisen or "perfection" is a cultural principle that drives the Japanese company Toto. Their newest toilet, the WELLNESS TOILET is equipped with advanced sensing technology to aid in consumer wellness.
Water Sense Technology
WaterSense-labeled plumbing fixtures are EPA-approved and help conserve water and energy while providing a safe, reliable performance. TOTO USA is proud to be among the first companies to earn the WaterSense label for our EcoPower flush valves and commercial flushometer toilets.
Our Aquia IV Dual-flush Toilet is an excellent example of an efficient bathroom fixture. It consumes only 1.28 Gallons of water per flush. This is less than 1.6 gallons required to meet EPA standards. The Aquia IV features TOTO TORNADO FLUSH technology that reduces the frequency of bowl cleaning and the need for extra flushes.
Another method to conserve water is to install a low-flow showerhead, which reduces the amount of water needed for bathing or washing. Our high-efficiency Showerheads are WaterSense Rated and have the most modern technologies to ensure superior performance.
Limiting the use of water is crucial in a world of frequent water shortages. TOTO's EcoPower technology, found in our Aquia IV toilet and our NEXUS one-piece toilet, helps reduce the amount of water we use by using only 1.28 gallons of water per flush to eliminate waste.
TOTO's elongated toilets are also EPA-approved for high efficiency. They come with a round or elongated bowl and an height that is ADA-compliant, ranging from 17-19 inches. We also have an elongated, compact toilet which is ideal for small spaces and uses just 0.9 gallons of water per flush.
TOTO's bidets are the most sought-after in the market for both business and home use. They are not just more cost-effective than toilet paper, they also offer a cleaner and healthier clean, leaving you feeling confident and refreshed. The NEXUS bidet is equipped with our EWATER+ technology, which is made by electrolyzing tap water to make the solution of sodium chloride ions as well as hypochlorous acid. This produces an effective disinfectant that kills viruses, bacteria and other pathogens, while leaving your skin and the environment unaffected.
ADA Compliant
You can be able to find the terms "ADA compliant" and "universal height" however, not all toilets with universal heights are ADA-compliant.
The ADA standards set by the Americans with Disabilities Act are specifically designed to meet the needs of people of all ages and abilities that include those with limited mobility or lower body strength. By including these standards into their products, Toto ensures that their customers have the bathroom experience they want with the added benefit of ease of use.
TOTO's ADA-compliant toilets feature an all-in-one design that instantly beautifies any bathroom and offers a practical advantage in comparison to traditional two-piece designs. By removing the gap between the bowl and tank, TOTO's one-piece designs make cleaning easier by preventing the buildup of dirt and debris. TOTO also features the highest-efficiency flushing system in their Eco UltraMax toilets. They are water-efficient and consume 1.28 Gallons per flush (GPF) or less.
One-Piece and Two-Piece Designs
Many who have travelled to Japan speak of the ease and comfort of the Toto toilets they used when they are there. Toto toilets are Japanese models that feature a one-piece design integrating the bowl and tank. They can be easily cleaned and fit in tiny spaces. They are also very robust and can last for many years.
Toto was formed in the early 70s by a group of musicians who had worked as session musicians for some of the most famous musicians. Keyboardist David Paich and drummers Steve Lukather and Jeff Porcaro as well as bassist Joseph Williams were all regular contributors to albums of Steely Dan[73 Seals and Crofts[74], Boz Scaggs[75], and Sonny and Cher.
Some of the band members also perform solo. Vocalist Bobby Kimball released a album called From the Inside in 1978, guitarist Steve Lukather a second LP entitled Luke, and keyboardists David Paich and Joe Porcaro recorded an album with jazz pianist Miles Davis.
Toto along with their music, has performed many tours throughout the years. They released their 40th anniversary album Trips Around the Sun in February of 2018, and then embarked on a global tour to promote it.
The core of TOTO's Total Design principle is taking into consideration the needs of everyone of all different ages and abilities. Universal Height toilets are available to those with limited mobility. The WASHLET+ line of bidets has transformed the toilet experience from wiping into a stream of water. This is a much better alternative to paper towels and a lot of people are making the switch.
Noise Reduction
In the United States, bathrooms are typically located near bedrooms, so toilets that keep noise to a minimum are sought-after. And TOTO has found a way to achieve this with its Washlet, a bidet with an electric seat. Combining a rimless, rimless bowl that uses relatively little water with powerful sprays of warm air that cleans and dries the skin TOTO's toilets have been described as "magical."
While Japan embraces its technological achievements however, it also has a deep appreciation for the humble toilet. These attributes are evident in Japan's Toilet Museum which was established in 1999 and was designed to inspire people to think differently about their bathroom habits. A toilet-powered motorcycle powered by poop and other tongue-in-cheek exhibits are intended to promote the museum's message that TOTO products are not just efficient but also eco-friendly.
The museum also features the company's history of innovation, from the first flush up to the aeration-based toilet that requires less water and reduces waste by 90 percent. The Washlet is also on display in this area. 토토사이트 꽁머니 makes use of a jet to clean and dry the user while masking embarrassing sounds from the toilet by making bird-like sounds.
Before the formation of Toto members such as bassist David Hungate and drummer Jeff Porcaro performed on albums by famous artists such as Steely Dan Seals and Crofts Boz Scaggs and Sonny and Cher. David Paich, the keyboardist was a regular session musician for artists like the Eagles, Larry Carlton and Quincy Jones.
In the years that followed Toto's first album, the band was struggling to make a name for themselves and went through a string of changes in members. Hungate eventually quit the group to pursue an independent career as an artist in Nashville in 1980. His departure was due to a lack of time for his family and a growing drug problem. The band's success ultimately depended on the talents of Lukather and keyboardist Steve Porcaro.
Comfort
TOTO toilets are designed with convenience in mind. They are equipped with many features that make the bathroom experience more enjoyable. They include heated seats, for instance, which keeps the user warm. They also have lids with automatic mechanisms that open and close for greater convenience. In addition, they come with self-cleaning technology to keep the toilet fresh and clean.
When looking for a TOTO toilet, it is important to know what to look for. There are many models to choose from, so it is essential to choose one that offers all of the features you need. You will require the model number and SKU of the toilet in order to do this. You can find this information on the packaging of the product or on the internet.

David Paich, Steve Lukather and David Hungate, along with drummer Jeff Porcaro, were regular contributors on albums by Steely Dan and Seals and Crofts. They also contributed to Boz Scaggs and Sonny and Cher. In 1980, they formed Toto together with singer/songwriter Joseph Williams.
The band began to tour extensively after the release of Toto IV. In 1985, vocalist Fergie Frederiksen was fired because she reportedly had a hard to get along with the rest of the group. The following year, Toto recorded Fahrenheit, which was released in 1986.
The album was an innovative musical venture for the group, incorporating elements of jazz and gospel. The album wasn't an immediate success in North America but it did well in Japan. In 1987, Toto continued their tour and performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival. In the same year the bassist David Hungate left the band to concentrate on his session and production career. Steve Lukather, a guitarist/vocalist, replaced him.
