“CLEAN SYNERGY” : The synergist effects of cleanliness functions spreading around the world.
Based on its corporate message of “Life Anew,” TOTO is disseminating its global message ofcreating value that is different to what has come before and delivering an everyday that surpass theexpectations to people around the world. TOTO proposes the synergistic effects of the various values
in" cleanliness it has pursued to date combined with clean technologies and cleanliness functions
as ”CLEAN SYNERGY”.
Four Cleanliness Functions of the Wall Hung Automatic Flushing Urinal(1) “CEFIONTECT”: FORCES Waste to SLIDE DOWNCEFIONTECT is ultra-smooth ceramic that leaves nowhere for waste to cling. As the ceramic surface
is finished with a million ridges per millimeter to produce an ultra-smooth surface, water spreads easily
over the bowl. The high purity glass layer is carefully baked in a furnace at around 1,200°C to preserve
its beauty.
Conventional

CEFIONTECT(2) “EWATER+”：SUPPRESSES the Accumulation of Waste
EWATER+ washes the wand and toile bowl where waste tend to accumulate and produce stains thatca become permanent.Using no chemicals or cleaning agent,EWATER+ provides peace of mind
every day.
What is EWATER+?
Produced by electrolysis of the chloride ion in tap water. It is completely free of chemicals
and cleaning agents. Over time EWATER+ returns to its original state of ordinary water,
making it completely environmentally friendly.

(3) New Scale Control and Water Saving System
Reduced trap size has enabled further water savings thanks to reduced flush volume. In addition toperforming self-cleaning after each use, interval drain cleaning is also carried out periodically. Toenhance flushing effectiveness, the flushing action is divided into several stages, preventing theformation of scales which can produce blockages and unpleasant odors due to urine accumulating orsticking to surfaces. In addition, the ultra-water-saving type fills and disinfects the trap with Clean
Disinfecting Water during times of day when the urinal is not used for extended periods.
(4) Target Mark to Prevent Urine Splashing (LED, available in products sold in Japan only)3

When a user stands in front of a urinal, a blue LED target mark is illuminated, indicating the best
point to minimize urine splashing. As well as presenting a sense of omotenashi (hospitality), guiding
users towards the point reduces splashing and spattering, and helps improve the cleanliness of theareas surrounding urinals. (Models with and without target marks are available)
