‘Golden throne’: The remote-controlled WC at ‘Value Line’ in Hyderabad. -
Brows knot and noses twitch in the civilised circles at the very mention of Water Closets. This is the reason why much attention is not paid to quality when it comes to selecting the toilet bowl even in the plushest of the homes, irrespective of the paramount role they play in maintaining the hygiene.
These sanitary fixtures are treated with matching contempt when it comes to maintenance and care too.
However, times are changing fast and the ceramic abhorrence is now becoming a fashion statement among the elite circles. A proof is the recent reports about the excitement of the Hollywood celebrity Leonardo Di Caprio who went gaga over the remote-controlled toilet bowl he acquired spending more than $1,600 as part of renovating his home.
The Toto Neorest 500 toilet from Japan that fascinated the Titanic boy has multiple features which minimise the manual interference at all levels. At the most, a remote control has to be operated so as to customise the bowl to user’s choice. “It is the top end consumer choice with the maximum number of features.
The CeFiONtect technology used in the WC precludes any possibility of bacteria remaining inside the bowl,” says Narinder Anand, the Managing Director of Value Line Trade (P) Ltd., at Banjara Hills, which deals in Toto toilet fittings in the city. CeFiONtect is the abbreviation of Ceramic Fine Ion Technology through which an ultra-smooth surface is obtained along with an ion barrier that repels dirt. As a result, the surface remains smooth and stain-resistant as long as it is in use.
The seat of the toilet opens up automatically whenever the user approaches, thanks to the sensors it is equipped with.
Also available is an option to warm up the toilet seat to the suitable temperature.
The use of toilet paper can be done away with, as the bowl is equipped with auto-washing mechanism by which a nozzle springs out to splash water on the rear or the front portion of the body as per the need. As soon as the washing is done, the drier blows the body dry not leaving any traces of wetness to chance. Tornado, the advanced flushing system certified by the U.S. Association of Home Builders, renders the bowl sparkling by pumping the water in a uni-directional swirling action. The need of water outlets lining the rim is ruled out, thus making the bowl easy to clean.
Apart from flushing and splashing, the remote control can perform the actions of adjusting the seat warmth, setting the water temperature and deciding the flow of water.
