TOTO

The Neorest collection from TOTO

In Japanese culture, the bathroom is a place not just for cleansing but for relaxation and regeneration. TOTO comprises over seventy percent of the Japanese sanitary ware market, and have been producing their WASHLET - a WC with combined bidet function - for 35 years, selling 35 million of them to date. The latest iterations of this signature product feature patented technologies unique to TOTO, such as Pre-mist, ewater+ and Actilight.

Even the most basic TOTO WASHLET/WC combination has three technologies that make it the most hygienic on the market: an ultra-smooth CeFiONtect glaze that reduces the accumulation of bacteria and waste; a rimless bowl that is easy to access, easy to clean and leaves dirt nowhere to hide; and a triple-jet Tornado Flush that efficiently washes the bowl. In a recent independent test carried out by SBZ, Germany, the TOTO SG WASHLET came top out of 32 different WC pans tested for flushing efficiency.

Unique technologies

TOTO has introduced a PRE-MIST function to all their WASHLETs. Prior to use, the WASHLET mists the bowl with water, to help prevent waste adhering. Additionally, several WASHLET models now use EWATER+; regular tap water which has been electrolysed to give it a slightly acidic pH value, which actively kills bacteria. After the toilet has been flushed, the WASHLET automatically sprays the bowl with electrolysed water to remove any remaining bacteria. The combined effect of the Tornado Flush and ewater+ keeps the toilet bowl far cleaner over time, and the electrolysed water is completely environmentally friendly and can be returned to the water cycle.

ewater+ technology takes the sophisticated WASHLET from the luxury NEOREST range to new heights of comfort and hygiene. As well as thoroughly cleaning the WC, ewater+ is used to rinse the intimate cleansing wand after every use.

As the self-cleaning wand mechanism is virtually invisible, the elegant lines and timeless design of this top-of-the-range product are uninterrupted. The NEOREST EW also retains the other features expected of TOTO's luxury range: a sensor-based lid that opens and closes automatically, heated seat with memory settings for two people and energy-saving mode, deodoriser to absorb unpleasant odours, warm air dryer and and automatic flush.

Actilight technology

In addition to the above functions the NEOREST AC also uses Actilight. The NEOREST AC toilet bowl has a special zirconium-coated surface with hydrophilic properties that help the electrolysed water simply wash the waste away. Additionally, the toilet lid features a UV light which is activated once the lid is shut. This light triggers the decomposition process of the waste particles. The result - a toilet that cleans itself automatically stays clean over the longterm.
