TOTO Toilets Help Consumers Navigate the New Normal

The COVID-19 global pandemic brought an entirely new routine to people's daily lives. TOTO makes use of its technology to help consumers navigate this New Normal.

Kaisen or "perfection" is a social principle that drives the Japanese company Toto. Their latest toilet, called the WELLNESSTOILET is equipped with cutting-edge sensing technology to aid in customer wellness.

Water Sense Technology

WaterSense-labeled plumbing fixtures are EPA-approved and can help save energy and water while providing the most reliable, safe and secure performance. TOTO USA is proud to be among the first companies to receive the WaterSense label for our EcoPower flush valves and commercial flushometer toilets.

Our Aquia IV Dual-flush Toilet is a great example for high-efficiency bathroom fixtures. It uses only 1.28 Gallons per flush, which is lower than the 1.6 Gallons required to meet EPA standards for an extended toilet. The Aquia IV features TOTO TORNADO FLUSH technology, which decreases the frequency of bowl cleaning and the requirement for additional flushes.

Another way to save water is by installing a low-flow showerhead, which reduces the amount of water used when washing or bathing. Our high-efficiency Showerheads are WaterSense Rated and have the latest technology to ensure the highest quality performance.

Limiting water consumption is vital in a world with frequent water shortages. TOTO's EcoPower technology, which is found in our Aquia IV toilet and our NEXUS one-piece toilet, helps reduce the amount of water we use by requiring only 1.28 Gallons per flush to remove waste.

TOTO's elongated toilets are also approved by the EPA for high efficiency. They have a round or elongated bowl and an height that is ADA-compliant, ranging from 17-19 inches. We also have an elongated and compact toilet that is perfect for small spaces and uses only 0.9 Gallons of water per flush.

TOTO's bidet wands are the industry's most popular for both home and office use. These are not only more affordable than toilet paper, they also provide a better clean and leave you feeling confident and refreshed. The NEXUS Bidet uses our EWATER+ Technology, which is produced by electrolyzing tap water to create the form of a solution containing sodium chloride ions. This results in a powerful disinfectant which kills bacteria, virus and other pathogens while leaving your skin and environment completely safe.

ADA Compliant

When you are looking for an ADA compatible integrated toilet and bidet+ system you might come across terms like "universal height" and "ADA compliant." While there is a connection between the two, it is important to note that not all universal height toilets are ADA compliant, and vice versa.

The ADA standards, established by the Americans with Disabilities Act, are designed to accommodate people of all abilities and ages. This includes those with limited mobility and lower body strength. Toto incorporates these standards into its products to ensure that their customers can enjoy the bathroom experience they prefer with ease of use.

TOTO's ADA compliant toilets feature one-piece designs that instantly enhance the look of your bathroom while providing a functional advantage over traditional two-piece models. By eliminating the gap between the bowl and tank TOTO's single-piece designs make cleaning much easier by preventing the accumulation of dirt and debris. TOTO's Eco UltraMax toilets also come with high-efficiency, water-saving flushing system. These toilets are water efficient and use less than 1.28 gallons of water for each flush.

Two-Piece or One-Piece Design

Many who have been to Japan have been raving about the comfort and effectiveness of the Toto toilets they have used. Toto toilets are Japanese models that feature an all-in-one design, integrating the bowl and tank. These toilets can be easily cleaned and fit in tiny spaces. They are also extremely robust and Totopia.Kr can last for many years.

Toto was formed in the early 70s by members 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 from Steely Dan [73], Seals and Crofts[74], Boz Scaggs[75], and Sonny and Cher.

Some of the band members also have solo projects. Vocalist Bobby Kimball released a album called From the Inside in 1978. guitarist Steve Lukather a second LP titled Luke and keyboardists David Paich and Joe Porcaro recorded an album with jazz pianist Miles Davis.

Toto along with their music, has performed a lot of touring throughout the years. They released their anniversary album 40 Trips Around the Sun in February of 2018 and embarked upon a world tour to promote the album.

TOTO's Total Design principle includes taking into consideration the requirements of people of all ages. Universal Height toilets are available to those with limited mobility. They also have a line of WASHLET+ bidets that have revolutionized the experience of using the toilet from washing to wiping with the stream of water. This is a much better alternative to paper towels and many people are now making the switch.

Noise Reduction

In the United States, bathrooms are often located near bedrooms, so toilets that reduce the noise to a minimum are sought-after. And TOTO has come up with a method to do that with its Washlet, an electric bidet seat. By combining a slim rimless bowl that requires less water, and powerful sprays of warm air that cleanses and dries the skin TOTO's toilets have been described as "magical."

While Japan is awed by its technological advancements however, it also has a deep respect for the humble toilet. The Toilet Museum in Japan, which was established in 1998, combines these qualities to encourage people to rethink their bathroom habits. The museum makes use of an electric motorcycle powered by poop to demonstrate that TOTO products are both efficient and eco sustainable.

The museum also showcases TOTO's history of innovation, from the first flush to the aeration technology that reduces waste by up to 90 percent and requires less water than a traditional toilet. The museum also features the company's Washlet which makes use of a jet of water to wash and dry the user, while making the toilet sound less embarrassing by using chirping birds.

Before forming Toto the members of the group, including bassist David Hungate and drummer Jeff Porcaro, performed as session musicians on many albums of famous artists like Steely Dan, Seals and Crofts, Boz Scaggs, and Sonny and Cher. Keyboardist David Paich was a regular on sessions with artists such as the Eagles, Larry Carlton, and Quincy Jones.

In the years following Toto's first album band struggled to achieve success and had to endure a series of member changes. In the end, Hungate left the band in 1980 to pursue an independent career in Nashville. He quit the band due to a lack time for his family, and an increasing addiction problem. The band's success was contingent on Lukather and Steve Porcaro.

Comfort

TOTO toilets have been designed with comfort in the forefront. They are equipped with many features that make bathroom use more enjoyable. For instance, they have heated seats that help keep the user warm. To make things easier, they also have automatic lids that can be opened and closed. They also have self-cleaning technologies that keep the toilets tidy and fresh.

When shopping for a TOTO toilet it is essential to know what to look for. There are numerous models to choose from, therefore it is essential to choose one that comes with all the features you need. You will need the model number and the SKU of the toilet to do this. This information is available on the product packaging or online.

Before forming Toto members of the group performed as session musicians for a variety of well-known musicians. Keyboardist David Paich, guitarist Steve Lukather and bassist David Hungate and drummer Jeff Porcaro were regular contributors to albums by Steely Dan, Seals and Crofts, Boz Scaggs, and Sonny and Cher. In 1980 they formed Toto together with singer/songwriter Joseph Williams.

Following the release of Toto IV, the band began to tour extensively. In 1985, Fergie Frederiksen's vocalist was dismissed for having trouble blending with the rest. Toto released Fahrenheit in 1986, a year after recording Fahrenheit.

The album was an artistic departure for the band, incorporating elements of gospel and jazz. The album didn't become an immediate success in North America but it did well in Japan. In 1987, Toto played the Montreux Jazz Festival and continued to tour. During this time the bassist David Hungate quit the band to concentrate on his session and music production career. He was replaced by guitarist/vocalist Steve Lukather.
