Toto Toilets - The Ultimate in Water Efficiency

By David W. Lambert


Toilets are a necessary evil for nearly all of us living in our homes today. Our toilets typically sit in the bathroom, quietly doing their task without us giving any thought to their design or the amount of water they consume over the course of a year.

That is, until there is a problem with their operation is disrupted with an assortment of ills. The toilet (more properly called a water closet), is the largest consumer of domestic water inside our homes. Therefore, be armed with the proper information when you start your search for toilets in your new home or replacement of toilets in your existing home. By careful when selecting the proper water closet you cannot only minimize your water usage, but long-term maintenance costs as well.

Toto Is Known As A Leader In Toilet Design

If you are preparing to build a new green home, be sure to consider the use of some of these high-efficient toilet designs into your home to attain a higher level of efficiency and sustainability.

Why Toto Toilets?

By incorporating water efficiency, reliability, quality, performance, and design aesthetics in their holistic approach to toilet design, Toto has become the clear leader in bathroom fixture design and performance. They have been continually doing this for over 90 years.

How Toto Affects Our Environment

The Toto Manufacturing Company strives to be a leader in sustainability through their innovation in design, manufacturing, and distribution. They have based their designs on water efficiency without sacrificing quality or performance. As compared to the strictest water-saving standards that have been implemented in recent plumbing codes, Toto consistently improves on these standards.

As they often do with their designs, they design "beyond compliance" with their current and new lines of toilets including the E-Max, Double Cyclone, and Dual-Max.

Toto E-Max Flushing System

In their E-Max toilets, Toto took the G-Max gravity flushing system to new heights. Although the G-Max system uses a standard high-efficient design of 1.6 gallons per flush, the E-Max flushing system uses a simple and effective design that uses only 1.28 gallons per flush.

This is a remarkable 20% improvement over and above a standard 1.6 gallon per flush high-efficient toilet and 63% more efficient than the older 3.5 gallon per flush toilets.

Double Cyclone Flushing System Toilets

By using an advanced hole-free rim design and a dual-nozzle bowl cleansing systems, the Double Cyclone flushing systems is a remarkable design innovation in toilet design. The result of this design is a very powerful centrifugal "cyclonic" cleaning action while using only 1.28 gallons per flush. As compared to the 1.6 gallon per flush high-efficiency toilets that is a 20% savings!

Toto's Dual-Max Flushing System

Dual-Max is a Toto design revolution using dual flushing technology to save even more water resources. There are 2 distinct flushing options for these remarkable toilets. The first one uses only 0.9 gallons per flush for liquid waste and the second flushing options uses 1.6 gallons per flush for solid waste. Not only do you get very reliable and trouble-free performance from these dual flush designs, you will achieve unsurpassed water efficiencies.

Toto Toilets - A Decorators Dream

There is a wide variety of designs and styles available from Toto Toilets that will fit virtually every decor. Some of the options include: elongated or round bowls, one piece designs and two piece designs, floor mounted designs and even wall hung units whereby the tank can be hidden behind the wall.

Toto was designed a very clean design for their water closets by using a skirted design to conceal the trapway and other mechanical workings. As for the toilet finish, some models of the Toto line offer a patented SanaGloss finish, which is a smooth glazing that will prevent the buildup of dirt, debris, mold, and bacteria, minimizing maintenance. As a result your toilets will always look clean and have minimal need for use of toxic cleaners.

For users with disabilities, Toto offers toilet designs that conform with ADA requirements (Americans With Disabilities Act).

The WaterSense Label and Toto Toilets

Dual-Max, Double Cyclone and E-Max models are all certified with the WaterSense label which certifies to the consumer that their toilets are all designed, tested and comply by independent testing agencies to be highly water-efficient.

Additional Options Available From Toto Toilets

Some of the accessories available include: the Washlet system for most of the elongated bowl models. This unique system eliminates the need for toilet paper by provided a comforting, warm-water cleansing from a self-cleaning nozzle that is extended under the toilet seat. Additionally the Washlet system uses a soft-close, heated seat for additional ease, comfort, and cleanliness.
