Sensor-activated functions
Sensor-activated technologies make bathrooms more touch-free and therefore more hygienic. If you don't need to touch anything, you can't come into contact with bacteria. Our AUTO FUNCTIONS technology is used in TOTO WASHLET® and automatic faucets.
The lid lifts automatically when someone approaches WASHLET®, and lowers when the person walks away. WASHLET® has a sensor that detects whether someone is approaching or leaving the toilet.
Selected WASHLET® models are also available with an automatic flush feature. Here, the toilet flushes automatically when the person walks away. This touch-free flush ensures maximum hygiene and comfort.
The sensor is hidden in the faucet, nearly invisible. This guarantees a much more user-friendly experience than the sensor being placed in the shaft of the faucet, as the sensor can be precisely activated by the hands. This also protects the sensor from vandalism.
Touch-free faucets also guarantee the ultimate in cleanliness. In addition to ensuring top hygiene, they conserve water by only using it when activated. This is especially beneficial for faucets in public toilets, as these considerably reduce the transmission of bacteria, germs and viruses.
They are a touch-free and therefore very hygienic solution for busy washrooms. Such high-traffic areas are easier to keep clean with hand dryers as the paper holders do not require refiling, and rubbish bins generally don’t overflow or require emptying as frequently. In this way, hand dryers help maintain a better environmental balance and also reduce operating costs.
