TOTO introduces a clever, detailed solution that allows buyers to decide on a toilet or WASHLET at any time.
Recent cost increases have put extensive bathroom renovations and building projects out of reach for many people. When sticking to a tight budget, it is not always possible to buy WASHLET – even if it is the preferred option. TOTO has introduced a new solution that allows people to put off their WASHLET decision until it makes more financial sense. Besides the investment in WASHLET itself, this keeps additional installation costs to a minimum.
The bidet toilet has taken over bathrooms all over Europe – thanks in large part to the Japanese sanitary experts at TOTO. Unlike in Japan, where WASHLET is a part of people’s everyday lives and their very hygienic culture, it still seems out of reach for many in Europe. This inspired TOTO to design a clever solution that allows people to upgrade to WASHLET whenever they would like. This is available on several TOTO toilets, including the popular RP Toilet.
How the upgrade works
Toilets that are compatible for WASHLET upgrades already have the holes necessary to install the water and electrical connections. While these toilets are in use with standard toilet seats, inconspicuous FlexCovers are placed over these holes. To convert the toilet to WASHLET, simply remove the FlexCovers, place WASHLET on the toilet and connect the water and power through the openings. This upgrade is especially quick and easy with the TOTO installation frame. In this case, removing the toilet from the wall is unnecessary. It’s also possible to use installation frames from other manufacturers. But with a little practice, upgrading to WASHLET with the TOTO installation frame can be done in just five minutes.
