What You Need to Know About Smart Toilet

Millions of people are adopting intelligent technology that can make daily living a little easier as the ‘smart home' movement sweeps the globe. Pre-programmable air conditioners, voice-activated lights, and wireless security systems are all examples of this technology. The modest bathroom is a component of the so-called smart house that is sometimes disregarded. We may now enjoy the conveniences of touchless tapware, waterproof TVs, and bathrooms that can be pre-programmed to fill, just as we can ask Alexa to open our blinds in the living room. Smart toilets are quickly becoming a high ticket item, following the trend of smart home technology. The features and functionality found in current smart toilets have progressed at the same rate as the rest of technology. They've evolved into much more than a toilet and bidet combination.

What Is a Smart Toilet?

A smart toilet is an advanced toilet using built-in smart technology, or technology capable of interacting and connecting with the user. These toilets are often found in smart homes around the world and in high-tech regions such as Japan. These devices are capable of many things, from playing music to flushing at the touch of a button, all while saving precious water.

The modern smart toilet

With a modern smart toilet, the user does their business as per normal, then rather than using toilet paper or moving to a separate bidet to clean themselves, they use the toilets’ rear and/or front water nozzle features. Air nozzles then dry off the user. The water and air functions can be activated using buttons on a control panel attached to the toilet or via remote control, depending on the model. Common features across different brands and models typically include: - Adjustable water temperature and pressure - Adjustable air drying temperature and pressure - Soft closing seats Basic smart toilet models are characterised as hygienic, comfortable, convenient and gentle however if you’re looking for a touch of luxury there are also more advanced models on the market. Advanced smart toilets come with many additional features for optimal personal wellness, such as: - Heated seats with adjustable temperature controls - Adjustable water pulsating settings - Self cleaning nozzles - Rimless hygienic flush - Touchless or automatic flushing using presence detection sensors - Ability to pre-set different user preferences via remote control - Bluetooth and MP3 capabilities - Automatic opening seat - Night light Voice activation controls are also being developed and are well on their way to becoming available in the near future. Models with this type of technology would completely eliminate the need for the user to touch anything at all when going to the toilet for the most hygienic experience possible.

5 quick benefits of installing a smart toilet in your home

Hygiene - due to the wash-and-dry function, rimless technology and other automated and hands-free functions, smart toilets are deemed more hygienic than the average toilet. Sustainability - compared with traditional toilets, smart toilets use less water as no toilet paper is used, meaning less waste to flush (no double flush). Additionally, they help you reduce your carbon footprint as they drastically reduce the amount of toilet paper you need to buy. Comfort - smart toilets make the chore of going to the bathroom more enjoyable, no matter the temperature or time of day. Maintenance - without the risk of toilet paper becoming clogged, you can worry less about overall maintenance. Furthermore, if toilet paper is used, some models help avert an overflow by preventing you from flushing when there’s a clog. Cleaning - your cleaning routine is made easier in models that have self cleaning nozzles, rimless flushing and superior glazing.
