What is a TOTO Washlet? 

A Washlet is an advanced electronic bidet seat developed by TOTO, featuring hygienic cleansing through adjustable warm water sprays, heated seating, warm air drying, and additional comfort and convenience features for enhanced bathroom hygiene.

What makes the TOTO Washlet Different from Traditional Bidets?

The TOTO Washlet is significantly different from traditional bidets due to its integrated design, advanced technological features, and enhanced comfort and convenience. Unlike a traditional bidet, which is typically a separate standalone fixture requiring additional bathroom space and plumbing, the Washlet is installed directly onto an existing toilet, making it highly space-efficient and easy to incorporate into modern bathrooms. 

Furthermore, the Washlet includes advanced electronic functionalities such as heated seats, adjustable warm water sprays, warm air drying, deodorisation, and even remote-controlled customisation options, which traditional bidets generally do not offer. Additionally, the Washlet enhances hygiene through self-cleaning nozzles, precise positioning, adjustable water pressure, and temperature controls, surpassing the limited, manually operated features common in traditional bidets. 

The TOTO Washlet represents a sophisticated and convenient evolution of bidet technology, emphasising comfort, hygiene, and ease of use beyond what traditional bidets typically provide.

Compatibility of TOTO Washlets with Standard Toilets

TOTO Washlets are designed to be compatible with most standard toilets, including many non-TOTO brands. However, compatibility depends on specific toilet dimensions and design features.

Here are the key compatibility features you should check:

  • Toilet Bowl Shape: TOTO Washlets are available for both elongated and D-shaped toilet bowls. It's essential to match the Washlet model to your toilet's bowl shape for proper fit and function.

  • Mounting Area Dimensions: Ensure that your toilet has sufficient flat space around the seat mounting holes. Some toilets with unique contours, especially certain one-piece designs, may not accommodate Washlets properly.

  • Clearance from Tank to Mounting Holes: Adequate space between the toilet tank and the seat mounting holes is necessary to install the Washlet without obstruction.

  • Access to Water Supply and Power Outlet: Washlets require a connection to the toilet's water supply and a nearby electrical outlet. Ensure that these are accessible for installation.

To determine if a TOTO Washlet is compatible with your toilet, consult TOTO's Washlet Compatibility Chart. This guide provides detailed measurements and compatibility information for various toilet models.

Understanding How TOTO Washlet Works

Step 1: Activation

  • After using the toilet, press the cleansing button on the remote control or side panel to activate the Washlet’s functions.

Step 2: Warm Water Cleansing

  • A small nozzle extends from underneath the seat, spraying a gentle stream of warm water.

  • Adjustable settings allow you to control water temperature, pressure, and spray position for maximum comfort and hygiene.

Step 3: Personal Cleansing Modes

  • Most TOTO Washlets provide different cleansing modes:

    • Rear Wash (standard cleansing)

    • Front Wash (gentler spray suitable for feminine hygiene)

    • Oscillating and Pulsating Sprays for thorough cleansing.

Step 4: Warm Air Drying

  • After cleansing, select the drying option.

  • A warm air dryer gently dries you, reducing the need for toilet paper.

Step 5: Automatic Nozzle Cleaning

  • Before and after each use, the nozzle automatically rinses itself with clean water.

  • Some advanced models use EWATER+ (electrolysed water), a sanitising spray that disinfects the nozzle and bowl, ensuring optimal cleanliness.

Step 6: Additional Comfort Features (varies by model)

  • Heated seat for comfortable sitting.

  • Auto open/close lid for hands-free convenience.

  • Automatic deodoriser to neutralise odours.

  • Nightlight for nighttime visibility.

TOTO Washlets are designed to integrate effortlessly into your lifestyle. With user-friendly controls and automatic features, using the Washlet becomes second nature, no learning curve, no hassle. Every use feels thoughtful and consistent, providing a clean, comfortable experience from start to finish.
