Flexibility and Comfort in the Bathroom
TOTO introduces an especially versatile solution for modern bathrooms to its portfolio – the innovative WC Element. The Japanese sanitary experts have brought a flush frame system to market compatible with different types of bathroom fixtures: toilet, WASHLET and WASHLET with Auto Flush.
Additional motor available
Many WASHLET models include an automatic flush (Auto Flush) feature, which requires a motor in the flush frame. At the same time, many WASHLET models and all toilets work just fine without a motor. TOTO responded to this issue with a thoughtfully designed concept: Simply install the motor as an optional add-on if needed for the selected model.
This modular system offers maximum flexibility. The WC Element is available with or without the motor and allows for quick, easy updates. It’s possible to convert an existing toilet to WASHLET anytime – with or without the automatic flush.
Upgrade anytime
Upgrading is especially convenient once the WC Element is in place. It takes just a few minutes – and there’s no need to remove the toilet. The installer simply replaces the existing toilet seat with the WASHLET attachment. It’s easy to add the motor for the optional automatic flush feature. The advantage: WASHLET with Auto Flush automatically recognises how long the user has been sitting on the toilet and activates the large or small flush accordingly.
When thinking about a future upgrade, it’s important to remember that only the TOTO WC Element will guarantee a toilet-to-WASHLET conversion without needing to remove the toilet. “We thought about every detail when designing the new WC Element. It includes an empty conduit for the power supply, which makes installing WASHLET much easier,” explains Hubertus Brüggemann, Sales Director, TOTO Europe.
“Our new WC Element combined with our special WASHLET-compatible toilets is a versatile system that works for a variety of different requirements. Instead of having to buy WASHLET right away, customers can upgrade to it later on without a great deal of effort or expense,” he continued.
