TOTO Toilets Help Consumers Navigate the New Normal
The COVID-19 pandemic in the world brought a new normal to many people's daily lives. TOTO is leveraging its technology to help people navigate this New Normal.
Kaisen or "perfection" is a social principle that drives the Japanese company Toto. Their latest toilet, the WELLNESS TOILET, uses cutting-edge sensing technologies to support the health of consumers.
Water Sense Technology
EPA-approved, WaterSense labeled plumbing fixtures aid in conserving energy and water and provide safe, reliable performance. TOTO USA is proud to be one of the first companies to receive the WaterSense label for our EcoPower flush valves and commercial flushometer toilets.
Our Aquia IV Dual-flush Toilet is an excellent example of a high-efficiency bathroom fixture. It uses only 1.28 gallons per flush, which is lower than the 1.6 gallons needed to meet EPA standards for an elongated toilet. The Aquia IV features TOTO TORNADO FLUSH technology, which reduces the frequency of bowl cleaning and the requirement for additional flushes.
Another method of reducing water usage is by installing a low-flow showerhead, which reduces the amount of water required while bathing or washing. Our high-efficiency Showerheads are WaterSense Rated and feature the latest technologies to ensure top performance.
In the world where water shortages are common, limiting the amount of water used is vital. TOTO's EcoPower technology, which is used in our Aquia IV toilet and our NEXUS one-piece toilet helps reduce the amount of water we use by using just 1.28 gallons of water per flush to remove waste.
TOTO's elongated toilets are also approved by the EPA for high efficiency. The elongated toilets have the option of a round basin or an elongated one and an ADA-compliant 17-19 inch height. We also offer an elongated and compact toilet which is ideal for smaller spaces and consumes only 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're not only more cost-effective than toilet paper, but they also offer a cleaner and healthier clean and leave you feeling relaxed and refreshed. The NEXUS bidet features our EWATER+ technology, which is made by electrolyzing ordinary tap water to produce an ionic solution of sodium chloride ions as well as hypochlorous acid. This produces a powerful disinfectant that kills viruses, bacteria and other pathogens, all the while leaving your skin and the environment unharmed.
ADA Compliant
You can be able to find the terms "ADA compliant" and "universal height" However, not all toilets that are 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 abilities and ages, including those with mobility issues 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 being easy of use.
TOTO's ADA certified toilets have a one-piece design that will instantly enhance any bathroom while providing a functional advantage over traditional two-piece models. The single-piece designs from TOTO make cleaning easier by eliminating the gap between the bowl and tank. TOTO also has the highest-efficiency flushing system in their Eco UltraMax toilets. They are water-efficient and use 1.28 gallons per flush (GPF) or less.
One-Piece and Two Piece Designs
Many who have traveled to Japan have praised the comfort and effectiveness of the Toto toilets they have used. Toto is a Japanese toilet brand that has a one-piece design that incorporates the tank and bowl. These toilets are easy to clean and fit in tight spaces. They are also durable and can last for a long time.
The band Toto began in the early 1970s after members worked on sessions for a number of notable musicians. Keyboardist David Paich and drummers Steve Lukather and Jeff Porcaro as well as bassist Joseph Williams were all regular contributors to albums by Steely Dan[73], Seals and Crofts[74], Boz Scaggs[75], and Sonny and Cher.
Some of the members also have solo projects. In 1978, Bobby Kimball released an album titled From the Inside. Steve Lukather released a second album called Luke. David Paich and Joe Porcaro also recorded an album with jazz piano player Miles Davis.
In addition to their music, Toto has done a significant amount of touring throughout the years. In February of 2018, they released their 40 Trips Around The Sun anniversary album and began an international tour to promote it.
Central to TOTO's Total Design principle is taking into consideration the needs of everyone of all different ages and abilities. Universal Height toilets are available for those with limited mobility. The WASHLET+ line of bidets has completely changed the experience of using a toilet from wiping into a stream of water. Many people are turning to this better option.
Noise Reduction
In the United States bathrooms are often close to bedrooms. Therefore toilets that are quiet are sought-after. And TOTO has found a way to achieve that with its Washlet, an electric bidet seat. TOTO's toilets are described as "magical" because they combine a rimless basin that uses little water with a powerful air spray that cleans and dries the skin.
The humble toilet is highly appreciated in Japan, which is an extremely proud country with a love for its technological advancements. These qualities are reflected in the Toilet Museum of Japan which was established in 1999 and was designed to inspire people to think differently about their toilet habits. The museum makes use of the power of poop to show the fact that TOTO products are both efficient and environmentally green.
The museum also showcases TOTO's innovations, starting from the first flush up to the aeration toilet that makes use of less water and reduces waste by 90 percent. There's also a room that includes the company's Washlet, which uses a stream of water to clean and dry the user. It also does this by making the toilet sound less embarrassing by using singing birds.
Before forming Toto members of the band, 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 that followed Toto's debut album, the group struggled to find an appealing sound and experienced numerous changes of members. Eventually, Hungate left the band in 1980 to pursue his own career in Nashville. The reason he left the band was due to a lack of time for his family, and an increasing addiction problem. The band's success was based on Lukather and Steve Porcaro.

Before beginning the formation of Toto the members of the band did sessions for a variety of popular musicians. David Paich, Steve Lukather and David Hungate, along with drummer Jeff Porcaro, were regular contributors to albums of Steely Dan and Seals and Crofts. They also contributed to Boz Scaggs and Sonny and Cher. In 1980, they teamed up with singer/songwriter Joseph Williams to form Toto.
The band began to tour extensively after the release Toto IV. In 1985, Fergie Frederiksen's vocalist was fired for reportedly having a hard time blending with the rest. Toto released Fahrenheit in 1986, a year after recording Fahrenheit.
The album was a musical departure for the group, incorporating elements of jazz and gospel. It wasn't an overnight success in North America, but did well in Japan. In 1987, Toto played the Montreux Jazz Festival and continued to tour. During this period, bassist David Hungate quit the band to focus on his session and production career. He was replaced by guitarist/vocalist Steve Lukather.
