Personal Hygiene Low-Flow Toilet
Bob Vila meets with Lenora Campos from Toto USA, the largest toilet manufacturer in the world and a leader in water technology. Several years before the U.S.-mandated introduction of 1.6 gallon toilets, Japanese companies were perfecting the their use. Toto’s latest introduction is the dual flush Neorest 600. A tankless toilet with a built-in warm-water washing unit, the Neorest 600 has the ability to sense when only liquid waste has been deposited, and uses an even further reduced 1.2 gallons flush. The washing feature is similar in function to a bidet. The aerated, massaging water stream cleans with either a front- or rear-facing spray, and a deodorizing air dryer automatically removes the water. All the features of the toilet, including the raising and lowering of the lid, can be controlled by a handheld or wall mounted remote control.
