RETAILOBSERVER.COM JUNE 2018 30 performance of the standard Tornado Flushing System, TOTO moved the water nozzle from the left- to the right-front side on the new Tornado Flushing System, so it cannot be seen when standing facing the unit. This location best achieves both 360-degrees of high performance flushing and high bowl cleaning performance – and it is virtually inaudible. TOTO also improved rimless bowl; its new simpler shape and lip-less design is easier to keep beautifully fresh and clean. Together, TOTO's synergistic cleansing technologies -- CeFiONtect nano-technology bowl glaze, new Tornado Flushing System, and eWater+ -- are constantly working on homeowners' behalf to keep the NEOREST NX Intelligent Toilets' surfaces pristine, maintaining these intelligent toilets as a place that is always clean, inviting and comfortable to use. The NEOREST NX 2's Actilight Advanced Cleansing Technology starts with a plain water pre-mist that wets the bowl's CeFiONtect glazed surface preventing waste's adherence 80% better than a dry bowl. After each flush, TOTO's eWater+ mists the bowl with electrolyzed water, which has a slightly acidic pH value, keeping the bowl fresh and clean longer. Next, the NEOREST NX 2's bowl is glazed with titanium dioxide and zirconium, giving it a lovely iridescent, mother of-pearl sheen. Extremely hydrophilic, the Actilight glaze makes it nearly impossible for organic substances to adhere to the bowl's surface—enabling waste, lime scale, and mold to wash away with ease. Further, when activated by its integrated UV light, the Actilight surface triggers a process in which photocatalysis occurs, accelerating the decomposition of all organic substances in the bowl at the cellular level. KIWAMI RECTANGULAR LAVATORY WITH LINEARCERAM TOTO introduces the new Kiwami Rectangular Lavatory with LinearCeram Technology, which is a testament to its innovative prowess in the area of materials science. By creating an exquisitely thin-walled, yet highly functional lavatory design, TOTO enhances the elegance of the bathroom experience with a new dimension in beauty. Although eye- catchingly thin-walled, the new lavatory's rectangular design is extremely strong. Along the thinnest part of the lavatory's' frame, the LinearCeram is approximately half the thickness of a conventional basin wall. At the same time, the material has almost twice the tensile strength of fireclay. The new Kiwami Rectangular Lavatory with LinearCeram Technology features CeFiONTect glaze, TOTO's proprietary technology for preventing the debris from sticking to surfaces and ensuring easy cleaning. CeFiONTect also offers superior durability for long-term use. Sophisticated and inviting to use, new Kiwami Rectangular Lavatory is a new paradigm in bathroom aesthetics. ZN SENSOR FAUCET WITH SOFTFLOW TECHNOLOGY TOTO introduces the first dual-sensor faucet designed for residential bathroom use. The ZN Sensor Faucet's relaxed curve design is arched like a gently cresting wave – soft, but powerful. From the ZN Faucet's SoftFlow Technology comes the touch of water at its most gentle. The ZN Sensor Faucet's SoftFlow Technology precisely balances the individual streams of water that gently caress the skin, with virtually no splash. The sensation to the touch is soft, luxurious and enriching. The ZN Sensor Faucet's translucent water streams are exquisitely beautiful and pleasing to the eye. • Hands-Free Operation The ZN Sensor Faucet is appointed with sensors to turn the faucet on and off and switch between hot and cold water. Simply waving the hand over the sensor operates the faucet. • Safety Thermo with SMA Thermostatic Valve Technology The new ZN Sensor Faucet is equipped with Safety Thermo with Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) Technology. TOTO's SMA valve features a nickel and titanium alloy coil which responds to temperature changes more quickly than traditional wax-based systems, which prevents scalding. • The ZN Sensor Faucet pairs elegantly with TOTO's new Kiwami Rectangular Lavatory with LinearCeram Technology.
