TOTO Introduces the Aquia IV Dual Flush Toilet and Aquia IV WASHLET+ S550E

Toilet features the new DynaMax™ Tornado Flush® Technology

(Morrow, GA) January 9, 2018 — To its popular collection of Aquia high-efficiency dual-flush toilets, TOTO adds the new Aquia IV One and Two- Piece Ultra High-Efficiency Dual-Flush Toilets (UHET) with its new DynaMax Tornado Flush Technology.

With their versatile aesthetic and one- or two-piece construction, the new Aquia IV UHETs will undoubtedly appeal to a wide audience of homeowners and design professionals with their sleek modern lines. Their elongated skirted design facilitates easy cleaning by removing the nooks and crannies where dust collects, while their slender tank gives them a heightened sensibility.

Like its handsome predecessors, the new Aquia IV models are Universal Height, TOTO’s ergonomic, comfortable height design that facilitates rising from a sitting to standing position and makes these aesthetically pleasing toilets ADA height compliant with their seat.

DynaMax Tornado Flush Technology

The new Aquia IV models feature TOTO’s new DynaMax Tornado Flush Technology with its rimless bowl design, which does not sacrifice an ounce of performance in order to achieve its exceptional water savings unlike many other dual-flush options on the market. These stylish one-and two-piece UHETs enable homeowners and designers to select the level of water used each time the toilet is flushed -- 1.0 or 1.28 gallons per flush (gpf) for solid waste or 0.8 gpf, for liquid. TOTO’s seeks always is to optimize water conservation, while setting a high bar in quiet world-class flushing performance.

To keep the Aquia IV’s bowl beautifully fresh and clean at all times, TOTO offers two major cleansing technologies. First, its DynaMax Tornado Flush Technology efficiently cleans the entire bowl and rim with 360-degrees of cyclonic rinsing action. Second, TOTO’s extraordinarily smooth CeFiONtect nano-technology glaze is applied to the bowl’s surface during manufacturing. The bowl’s CeFiONtect glazed surface is smooth down to the nano level of a millionth of a millimeter, preventing particulate matter from adhering to the bowl’s surfaces. The ion-barrier in CeFiONtect keeps the bowl cleaner, longer. Less cleaning means fewer chemicals in the environment and less water used for cleaning.

TOTO introduces the Aquia IV WASHLET+ S550e and WASHLET+ S500e -- the elegant design harmony of the Aquia IV toilet and WASHLET+ personal cleansing system, which offers warm, aerated water to cleanse, warm air dryer, and heated seat; auto open/close and auto flush; in-bowl catalytic deodorizer; eWater+; and energy- and water-saving features.

The new WASHLET+ S550e and WASHLET+ S500e’s slim, compact designs unite with the Aquia IV to create a seamless organic sensibility. These compact WASHLET+ designs feature straight lines and gentle curves. The WASHLET+ S550e and S500e models closely follow the shape of the toilet bowl, leaving no unsightly gaps.

Perfectly matching the WASHLET+ S550e and WASHLET+ S500e to the Aquia IV creates a clean modern design that harmonizes with a variety of bath spaces.

TOTO is one of the only plumbing companies in the world that develops and manufactures its own toilets and toilet seats like the WASHLET+ S550e and WASHLET+ S550e. Thus, TOTO is able to make the design harmony of toilet and WASHLET+ models a high priority when developing the new products.
