Touchless Faucet features
1. Water conserving performance
Simply hovering your hand under the faucet will supply or stop
water, preventing you from forgetting to turn off the faucet andresulting in excellent water saving performance.
It employs a water saving technology that increases the air mix rate
to realize comfortable hand washing with a low flowrate. Compared
to traditional double lever faucets, the product is capable of reducing
the amount of water used approximately 84％ (for the 2 L/minmodel).

2. "EWATER+" stays clean longer and keeps the drain clean
Produced by electrolysis of the chloride ion in drinking water, it is completely free of chemicals and cleaning
agents. Over time EWATER+ returns to its original state of ordinary water, making it completely environmentallyfriendly.

3. No power supply is required for the PowerThe touchless faucets are operated by power generated using the flow of water. No power supply is required, sothey are recommended for remodeling. Since there are no restrictions on the minimum number of uses per day
required for power generation, they can be installed with security regardless of conditions of the site.

Regarding the recommendation to use Touchless products for hygienic toilet spaces that canbe used with security
The national government (JAPAN) has published example practices for the new normal created by the COVID-19
pandemic that recommend that hands be washed sufficiently, etc.

TOTO is continually expanding its product lines that feature automatic and Touchless functionality to propose
new value in comfortable lives by creating hygienic toilet spaces that can be used with security. We recommend
using ‘Touchless Faucet’, ‘Automatic soap dispenser’, ‘Wall Hung Urinal with Built-in Sensor and WASHLET(Toilet lids that open and close automatically. Automated flushing and deodorizing.), etc. in toilets and lavatories.
We continue to propose hygienic products that can be used with security.
