Setting Up Your Throne: A Guide to Toilet Selection

Posted on November 16, 2020 by Kevin Johnson

While they may not get as much focus during a typical bathroom renovation, there is no denying the importance of your toilets. After all, they are called “the throne” for a reason! As a place where you will be sitting and “conducting your business” on a daily basis, this is certainly one part of the bathroom that cannot be overlooked.

Believe it or not, not all toilets are created equal. There are several different designs and features that can make a difference for your bathroom space. The right toilet can make each trip that much more enjoyable. Here are some factors to consider that will help you make the right pick for your bathroom.

Toilet Shape

Let’s start with the basics: your toilet’s shape and the general “theme” or style that it offers. Most toilets are available in either an elongated (oval) or round shape. However, some contemporary designs also use a square shape, such as the Swiss Madison SM-1T106MB Concorde One-Piece Square Toilet with Dual Flush in Matte Black, 0.8/1.28 GPF. Keep in mind, though, that it might be hard to find a replacement toilet seat if you buy a square toilet! Still, there is something to be said about the stylish, contemporary statement such a design could make.

The shape and style of your toilet is generally a matter of personal preference more than anything else. That being said, round toilets are generally considered the best option for more compact bathrooms, as they fit well in small spaces. Round toilets tend to use a more traditional design, while elongated and square toilets are more likely to feature a contemporary look.

Overall, many people find elongated toilets more comfortable and easier to clean. These toilets also tend to have a more forceful flush than round toilets. As such, the vast majority of toilets produced today feature an elongated bowl.

Toilet Type and Mount

It used to be that you only had one option for the type of toilet you bought: a two-piece design that was mounted to the floor. Now, however, advances in bathroom design have also resulted in new options being introduced for those interested in a modern, contemporary look.

Two-piece toilets feature a separate tank that is mounted onto the body of the toilet. Having two separate parts can make it somewhat easier to install the toilet in your bathroom by reducing the overall weight you have to carry. This will also make it easier should you ever need to move the toilet for repairs in the future.

However, a one-piece design offers a sleek, distinctive look that bolsters the contemporary feel of your bathroom. Toilets like the Toto MS604114CEFG#01 Ultramax II One Piece Elongated 1.28 GPF Toilet with Double Cyclone Flush System and SanaGloss – SoftClose Seat Included, Cotton, Polished Chrome are a great example of this. With a one-piece toilet, you also don’t have to worry about the tank screws coming loose over time.

In addition, there are also bowl-only toilet designs. Rather than using a tank, these toilets typically use a flush valve, such as in the American Standard 3351.101.020 Afwall Millenium 1.1- 1.6 GPF FloWise White Elongated Flushometer Toilet with Everclean. Though most typically associated with high-use commercial restrooms, bowl-only designs are becoming more common with sleek, contemporary wall-mounted toilets.

Examples of this wall-mounted bathroom option include the Swiss Madison SM-WT449 Sublime One Piece 0.8/1.28 GPF Dual-Flush Elongated Wall-Hung Toilet in White, which features a concealed carrier tank that makes it easy to connect the toilet to your home’s plumbing system while still maintaining a clean, modern look.

Flush Placement and Type

Few parts of a toilet are more important than the flush lever (and the flushing mechanism itself)! As with other toilet components, there is no real “right” or “wrong” answer for the type of flush you should get. It mostly comes down to personal preference.

Traditionally, most toilets featured a flush lever on either the left or right side of the tank (though most often on the left). This allowed for easy access to the flush lever on whichever side of the bathroom had a wider opening.

More recently, however, top-mounted levers have become increasingly common — especially for toilets which include a dual-flush feature. Rather than a standard lever, toilets like the Toto CST446CEMG#01 Aquia IV Two-Piece Elongated 1.28/0.8 Dual Flush Skirted Toilet with CeFiONtect, Cotton White use a button push. The push button system actually utilizes two buttons, which allows users to select how much water to flush. For liquid waste, you can select the flush that uses less water.

Toilet manufacturers are also going the extra mile to make each flush more efficient and forceful than in the past. For example, many Toto products use the company’s “Dynamax Tornado Flush” system, which projects water from the entire rim to provide a 360-degree clean. American Standard toilets feature a similar system called PowerWash.

While the flush lever placement is more a matter of personal preference, these dynamic flushing systems will ensure that all waste is efficiently removed, and can even reduce your cleaning burden. Not having to scrub the toilet as frequently is nothing to complain about!

Water Usage

The amount of water that goes down the drain with each flush has become increasingly important to homeowners and business owners alike in recent years. After all, reducing how much water you use doesn’t just help lower your utility bill. It also lessens your impact on the environment.

As previously noted, many toilets have implemented dual-flush systems to better accommodate this preference. When less force is needed to expel waste from the toilet bowl, you can use less water for a more eco-friendly approach.

Toilet manufacturers make it easy to find how eco-friendly their toilets are by listing the number of gallons used per flush. While older toilets would sometimes use as many as 5 gallons of water per flush, newer toilets have drastically reduced that number.

At Kitchen & Bath Authority, we carry a wide selection of WaterSense Certified toilets, many of which feature a dual-flush option of 0.8/1.28 gallons per flush. Sponsored by the Environmental Protection Agency, toilets that are WaterSense certified meet the government’s efficiency criteria, meaning they use at least 20 percent less water than standard toilets.

The amount of water that is flushed when you use your toilet may seem trivial, but it can quickly add up over the course of the day. The average person flushes the toilet several times a day, and if you have a large family, that results in a lot of water going down the drains. Upgrading from an old toilet to a more water-efficient model will have a bigger impact than you might expect.

Specifications

Now it’s time to get into some of the details that are less immediately apparent, but are still important when it comes to your toilet selection.

The specifications, or measurements of height, depth, and width should be double checked before you order a new toilet for your bathroom. For starters, it’s a good idea to compare these measurements with the size of the space you currently have. If you are simply replacing an old toilet rather than investing in a full-scale bathroom remodel, you’ll want to make sure the new toilet is roughly the same size. That new toilet won’t do you much good if it is too big to fit your space!

If you are planning to age in place inside your home, these measurements become even more important. As mobility declines, the bathroom becomes an increasingly hazardous place. While many slip and fall accidents are associated with showers and bathtubs, toilets can also be made more safe with ADA compliant specifications.

Sometimes referred to as “comfort height” toilets, these toilets are compliant with guidelines from the Americans with Disabilities Act. These toilets typically have a bowl height of 17 to 18 inches, which is taller than normal toilets. A raised toilet seat is also used to make it easier for users to sit and stand.

In addition to the toilet itself, bathroom renovations in homes where mobility may become an issue should also install grab bars near the toilet for ease in standing and sitting. Such adjustments will dramatically improve the bathroom’s safety and usability.

Rough-In

Another not so glamorous, but important, element of a new toilet installation is the rough-in measurement. The rough-in measures the space between the wall behind the toilet and the bolts that hold the toilet into the floor. This measurement can take place before you even remove your old toilet, and should be a key consideration when narrowing down your options.

The standard toilet rough-in measurement is 12 inches. However, some homes will have toilets with different rough-in measurements, with 10 and 14 inches being relatively common alternatives.

Double check your current measurements and the rough-in measurement of the toilet you are interested in buying. Though some toilets actually come with an adjustable rough-in, purchasing a model with the wrong measurements might just leave you with a fancy new toilet that doesn’t fit in your space.

Additional Features

A toilet is a toilet, right? Though toilets have never seemed like a particularly “advanced” or tech-centric item, innovative brands are continuing to implement new features that make your bathroom trips better than ever before.

Without a doubt, one of the biggest trends in bathroom toilets has been the increased integration of bidets. Products like the TOTO MS920CEMFG#01 Washlet with Integrated Toilet G400 – 1.28 GPF and 0.9 GPF, Cotton integrate a bidet seat directly into the toilet design. Front and rear warm water wash sprays are available, with the option for users to adjust the water temperature and pressure according to their preferences. An air deodorizer and dryer function further streamline your bathroom routine.

This is far from the only fancy feature this top-of-the-line toilet has to offer. Toto Washlets also include features like auto flush, an auto open/close lid. It even pre-mists the bowl before use. The entire unit (including the heated seat) can be operated by a remote control.

The Toto Washlet also uses a specialty glaze that keeps waste from sticking to the toilet’s ceramic surface. This keeps your toilet cleaner longer, meaning you won’t have to clean as often or spend as much money on cleaning supplies.

Of course, you don’t have to invest in a brand new washlet to enjoy some of these exciting features. The brand also offers bidet seats like the Toto SW2033R#01 Washlet C100 Electronic Bidet Toilet Seat with PREMIST and Round Front, Cotton. These bidet seats can be configured to attach to your current toilet, allowing you to enjoy features like pre-misting spray and a self-cleaning bidet wand. A “soft close” function even keeps the lid from slamming shut!

As these products prove, your toilet can just as easily become a luxury feature as the rest of your bathroom.

Time to Pick Your Toilet!

With all this information in hand, you should be well on your way to knowing which type of toilet will look best for your space. And whether you’re interested in a contemporary washlet or a more traditional design, Kitchen & Bath Authority has you covered. We offer a wide selection of toilets from leading brands like American Standard, Toto, Duravit, and more.

Not only do we carry toilets from the top brands, but we also offer many of them at significant discounts to help you save big on your bathroom upgrade.

Needless to say, upgrading the “throne room” may be more easily accomplished than you might initially expect.

Don’t Wait — Today is the Day to Buy a Bidet!

Posted on March 16, 2020 by Kevin Johnson

To say that COVID-19 (or the coronavirus) has disrupted our normal routines seems like a major understatement. From the cancellation of major sporting events to school closures across the country, many are finding themselves forced to make significant changes to their lives in an effort to contain the global spread of this virus.

One side effect of the coronavirus panic is a shortage of consumer goods — particularly toilet paper. Whether people are fearing being placed under quarantine or are simply worried about there not being any supplies left the next time they need to stock up, the toilet paper shortage is becoming a major news item in and of itself.

National news publications are highlighting stores where toilet paper is still available, and in some areas, first responders are even complaining of 911 calls asking for toilet paper.

Needless to say, many households are now closely monitoring their toilet paper usage — or camping out at local grocery stores for the next time shelves are restocked.

But there is one group that is not stressed about the toilet paper shortage. Bidet owners have been enjoying improved bathroom trips for years. Now that toilet paper supplies are running low, an increasing number of homeowners are starting to realize that buying a bidet could be the perfect long-term solution.

The History of the Bidet

Bidets trace their history to 1600s France, and are now widely used in Europe, Japan, and other parts of the world. While the bidet has been slow to gain popularity in the United States, the number of households using these bathroom products had already been on the rise prior to the recent coronavirus outbreak.

Historically, bidets were a separate fixture that was placed next to the toilet. Users would straddle this wash basin, which featured a faucet that would spray a stream of water to clean themselves after going to the bathroom. This cleaning process was also quite popular for addressing feminine hygiene needs.

It wasn’t until the 1960s that the idea of combining bidet functionality with a standard toilet came into fruition. While early attempts at introducing this product to the United States failed, it helped lead to the development of the TOTO washlet in Japan. The use of control panels and the toilet/bidet combination quickly took off in the country.

While the separate bidet basin remains a common fixture in bathrooms throughout much of Europe, in Japan and the United States, modern consumers are much more likely to find either a toilet with a pre-integrated bidet system, or a bidet toilet seat attachment that can be used to replace the standard toilet seat.

How Does the Bidet Work?

A bidet replaces the need to wipe with toilet paper by sending a jet of clean water to your rear. This isn’t the same water that is in your toilet — the water used by a bidet comes from your normal water supply, so you don’t have to worry about potential contamination.

Modern bidet systems typically use a “wand” for the cleansing process. Various settings allow you to adjust the spray for the type of cleaning you need. In addition to choosing whether you need a front or rear cleanse, you can also select an oscillating or pulsing flow, and even make adjustments to the volume and warmth of the water. The spray wand is self-cleaning, ensuring sanitary conditions while minimizing your cleaning and maintenance needs.

Historically, people would use one or two squares of toilet paper to dry off after the cleaning, but many modern bidets also feature an air dryer to further improve the bathroom experience. As with the water, users can select from one of several temperature settings for a comfortable drying experience.

Most modern bidet toilets and electronic bidet seats are designed to offer a high-end bathroom experience. For example, TOTO Neorest products use auto open/close lids, auto flush mechanisms, heated toilet seats, and even an air deodorizer and nightlight to improve accessibility and keep the bathroom smelling nice. The TOTO Neorest also pre-mists the bowl with electrolyzed water to help sanitize the bowl without the need for harsh chemical cleaners.

To make the whole setup even more convenient, users can control settings with a handy remote. This allows you to set the seat to your preferred wash settings for future use. Most bidets with this feature can save multiple user settings, so everyone who uses the bathroom can quickly access their preferred cleaning setup.

Benefits of Using a Bidet

Though switching from the normal bathroom routine of wiping with toilet paper may initially take some getting used to, there are many good reasons to purchase a bidet — and not just because you won’t have to worry about toilet paper shortages any more!

First is the fact that bidets actually provide a more sanitary way to clean up after going to the bathroom. Toilet paper is typically not able to get rid of all waste residue. You will still have some waste left on your skin. Plus, if you think about it, the biggest risk factor for your hands getting dirty comes when you wipe. This is an easy avenue for spreading germs and disease, especially if you don’t wash your hands thoroughly after going to the bathroom. Even if you think you do a good job washing your hands, you probably aren’t doing enough. In fact, one study found that only five percent of people wash their hands properly to kill harmful bacteria.

While you should still wash your hands after using a bidet, you are less likely to expose your hands to fecal waste because you won’t have to reach down to wipe. In a time when concerns over the spread of disease have led to an increased emphasis on hand-washing, this can help give you much-needed peace of mind.

Dry toilet paper can also be rough on your skin, resulting in additional discomfort. This can be especially uncomfortable for people suffering from conditions like hemorrhoids or an anal fissure. The use of clean water is a much more sanitary way to clean, and it also greatly reduces discomfort for people with sensitive skin and other similar issues. Total control over water volume and temperature ensures that users can find the perfect setting for their needs.

Using a bidet can also have a major environmental impact. According to Scientific American, United States citizens use over 36 billion rolls of toilet paper per year. The production of all this toilet paper consumes 15 million trees, over 470 billion gallons of water, and 253,000 tons of chlorine. Those numbers don’t account for the energy costs that go into manufacturing and transporting toilet paper.

While washing with a bidet does consume water, that amount is actually less than the amount that goes into toilet paper production. Most bidets only use about one-eighth of a gallon of water per use, as opposed to the 37 gallons of water that can go into manufacturing a single roll of toilet paper.

Many toilet/bidet models go the extra mile in eco-friendliness by using centrifugal force to complete the flush with less water than a standard toilet. This further reduces your household water consumption, minimizing your impact on the environment and lowering future water bills.

Toilet paper doesn’t just create environmental issues during the manufacturing process. The waste itself can also contribute to various problems. Many households use plush toilet paper that doesn’t dissolve easily in water. Worse still, some homes send “flushable” wipes down the drain. Despite the claims made on their packaging, such wipes should never be flushed, as they can cause significant blockages in the pipes. Even regular toilet paper can increase your risk for clogs over time.

With a bidet, you don’t have to worry about dealing with surprise plumbing clogs. The cost of a repair visit from a plumber could add up quite quickly. By using a bidet, you will save money in the long run by no longer needing to buy toilet paper and by avoiding potential plumbing mishaps.

Installation Considerations

While installing a bidet will certainly be quite beneficial for your household, there are a few things to keep in mind before you make your purchase. If you are buying an electronic bidet seat, you will need to check the dimensions of your toilet to ensure that your new seat will fit properly. Even something as simple as knowing whether your toilet has an elongated or round bowl will affect whether the bidet seat you buy fits properly or not.

If adding an electronic bidet seat to your toilet, you will need to turn off the toilet’s water valve, then flush the toilet to drain all water. After removing the existing water hoses and toilet seat, you will place the new bidet seat on the toilet. Connecting a T-valve to the water hose will allow water to run to both the toilet and the bidet seat. Connect the bidet seat’s inlet to the water supply hose, and reconnect the toilet’s water hose.

Both bidets and electronic bidet seats often require electricity to activate all functions (such as the air dryer and night light). This requires access to a 120VAC outlet. If your bathroom does not already have an outlet conveniently located near the toilet, you will need to have a professional electrician install new wiring. Do not attempt any electrical work yourself, as this can be quite dangerous without proper safety equipment.

If you are installing a bidet as part of a full bathroom renovation, make sure that your remodeling plans account for both the plumbing and electrical needs of your new unit.

Give Your Bathroom a Boost With the Latest TOTO Washlet!

Posted on August 12, 2019 by Kevin Johnson

When discussing ways to improve your bathroom, most homeowners focus on areas like the shower enclosure or the bathroom vanity. While upgrading these features can certainly go a long way in improving the aesthetics and functionality of this area, you can’t overlook one of the most essential fixtures of any bathroom: the toilet.

True, the toilet may not be the most desirable topic of conversation, but there is no denying that it is one of the most frequently used fixtures in the home. With a TOTO Washlet, you can help make your bathroom more luxurious than ever before by giving your toilet a much-needed upgrade.

Whether you are attaching a Washlet to a pre-existing toilet or installing one of TOTO’s toilets that incorporates Washlet+ functionality, the unit’s wide range of features will greatly streamline your bathroom experience.

Here is a closer look at what the Washlet is, and how it can make an impactful difference in your bathroom.

First Things First: Understanding Bidets

The TOTO Washlet is much more than just a toilet seat. It provides the complete functionality of a bidet, as well as several additional luxury features. For many American buyers, however, the idea of a bidet is likely to spark confusion, rather than excitement. Though many misconceptions about bidets continue to exist, they have been gaining popularity in the United States, and for good reason. Here is a closer look at bidets in general.

A traditional bidet is a low oval basin, similar in shape to the toilet. Standard bidets are typically placed next to the toilet. After going to the bathroom, a person would then move to the bidet, which uses water jets to wash the buttocks and genital areas (in lieu of using toilet paper).

As it turns out, using a bidet offers several advantages over using toilet paper. According to Scientific American, roughly 15 million trees are pulped to make toilet paper in the United States each year. In addition to the trees themselves, over 473 billion gallons of water, 253,000 tons of chlorine, and 17.3 terawatts of electricity are used to produce toilet paper. By comparison, the average bidet consumes approximately 1/8th of a gallon of water with each use. Switching to a bidet can have a dramatic positive impact on the environment by conserving precious natural resources.

Toilet paper doesn’t just consume natural resources. When it doesn’t dissolve properly, it can easily contribute to clogs in the sewer system. Using a bidet will eliminate the risk of such clogs. You also won’t have to worry about the recurring expense of buying toilet paper.

Bidets also provide a more effective form of cleaning than toilet paper. In addition to being a less abrasive and more comfortable way to clean, bidets are better equipped to fully remove residue from your skin. This makes bidets especially beneficial for individuals who suffer from conditions that make it painful to use toilet paper, such as hemorrhoids.

While the idea of a bidet may sound unusual to some, it is actually extremely commonplace on a global scale. The bidet is widely used in much of Europe, Asia, and parts of South America. In fact, in countries like Italy and Portugal, bidet installations have been mandatory in newly constructed homes for several decades.

Despite this popularity on a global scale, traditional standalone bidets have never really caught on in the United States. While some have theorized that this stems from anti-French sentiments held by the English which were then transferred to the United States, there are also practical matters to consider.

A standalone bidet is roughly the same size as a toilet. Most bathrooms in the United States simply don’t have the space for an additional fixture of this size. Even larger bathrooms typically don’t have a layout that would easily accommodate the addition of a bidet. When performing a bathroom renovation, a homeowner is much more likely to prioritize additional storage space or a more luxurious shower enclosure than a bidet.

While cultural and practical limitations have kept traditional bidets from catching on in the United States, TOTO has worked to bring bidets stateside in a more accessible manner.

What is TOTO?

Founded in 1917 in Japan, TOTO has become the largest toilet manufacturer in the world. It should come as no surprise, then, that the brand is also one of the respected leaders in the industry, in large part thanks to a continuing drive for innovation and technology integration in the bathroom.

The brand is about much more than producing luxurious, easy to use products. An emphasis on environmental responsibility has resulted in TOTO being named a Water Efficiency Leader by the Environmental Protection Agency. By committing to a high standard of quality that emphasizes water conservation, the brand is actively striving to make the bathroom better suited for today’s eco-conscious world.

How the TOTO Washlet Works

While adding a standalone bidet would require some extensive bathroom renovations, TOTO makes it easy to enjoy the benefits and functionality of a bidet with its Washlet line. These heated toilet seats can be installed directly on top of a standard toilet, providing a wide array of features without the hassle of a typical bidet installation..

TOTO Washlets utilize a specialty water wand that is located below the seat. The nozzle’s settings are operated via remote control, allowing you to choose from an oscillating or pulsating spray, while also selecting the water volume and temperature. The Washlet allows you to set your preferred temperature between 86 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit, providing a warm, soothing wash. Both rear and front cleansing are available.

While keeping the unit clean is a common concern with a standalone bidet, you won’t have to worry about such maintenance with a Washlet. The system utilizes a self-cleaning function that fully sanitizes the bidet nozzle before and after use. The Washlet uses electrolyzed water (also referred to as eWater+) to clean both the nozzle and the toilet bowl. By pre-misting the toilet bowl, the electrolyzed water also ensures more effective elimination of waste. The eWater+ also eliminates bacteria, ensuring that you won’t need to use harsh cleaners as frequently.

After the bidet nozzle has finished its job, the system’s warm-air dryer activates. This hands-free feature offers five different temperature settings for your comfort. Once you’ve found the cleaning settings that you like best, you can actually program them to the Washlet’s memory. Each TOTO Washlet can store personal settings for up to two people.

TOTO Washlets offer much more than bidet functionality. The contoured heated toilet seat also features adjustable temperatures to help you find the perfect comfort settings. A built-in air filtering and purifying system helps deodorize the bathroom, eliminating the need for chemical air fresheners. A night light feature makes it easy to get to the toilet if you need to go in the middle of the night.

While all Washlet models feature a soft-closing lid to prevent accidental slams, models like the TOTO SW3056#01 Washlet S550E also utilize an auto open/close feature for the lid. This sensor detects when you are approaching or leaving the toilet and responds appropriately.

Perhaps best of all, TOTO Washlets are easy to install. The Washlet seats feature a compact, slim design with a docking station that allows for easy installation to your existing toilet. Multiple models are available to match different toilet bowl shapes.

While you will need a 120 VAC outlet located behind the toilet to utilize the Washlet’s features, no other renovations are necessary. TOTO also produces its own line of full-size toilets, many of which integrate the Washlet as part of their design for a more streamlined installation. As a result, it has never been easier to enjoy the functionality of a bidet in your own home.

New Innovations With the Washlet+

While the previously mentioned list of features may seem great in and of itself, the TOTO brand is continuing to innovate and look for new ways to improve its Washlets and toilets. At the beginning of 2019, TOTO added a new auto flush feature to its Washlet+ bidet seats and toilets.

This sensor operated system comes into play as soon as a user stands up and walks away from the toilet. No additional actions are needed to activate the flushing mechanism. Of course, if you still prefer a traditional manual flush, the trip lever or push buttons (depending on the toilet model) can still be used.

Washlet+ integration is available on several toilet models, such as the TOTO MW4463056CEMG#01 Aquia IV Washlet+ Kit and the TOTO MW6243056CEFG#01 Legato Washlet+ Kit. Seamless integration of the Washlet+ further improves aesthetics by concealing the water supply hose and power cord used by the Washlet+ within the base of the toilet.

In addition to the auto flush feature, purchasing one of these toilets gives you access to TOTO’s signature Tornado Flush technology. This system uses two nozzles to create a centrifugal flush that more effectively eliminates waste. These toilets also use CeFiONtect glaze to keep waste particles from sticking to the interior ceramic surface. By only using either 0.8 or 1.28 gallons of water per flush, this system will help you reduce water usage while also keeping your bathroom clean.

With the latest upgrades available from the Washlet+, you will have a more luxurious bathroom experience than ever before. From the use of a bidet to the implementation of an auto flush system, these are the kinds of upgrades that you will soon wonder how you ever lived without.
