New Water Technologies for TOTO Rainshowers and Handshowers
For its new Global Shower Collection of rainshowers and handshowers, TOTO introduces exciting new water technologies designed to offer bathers showering experiences to fit their mood – the moderate intensity Comfort Wave, the high-intensity Active Water, and the relaxing Warm Spa.

Comfort Wave Technology
Comfort Wave uses TOTO’s new spray nozzle design to add large water droplets to the standard water spray for just the right amount of stimulation, enabling bathers to enjoy a shower of moderate intensity while saving water.

Active Wave Technology
Active Water uses TOTO’s newly developed shower nozzle design to powerfully release large water droplets. It provides a more vigorous, revitalizing showering experience, ideal for first thing in the morning.

Warm Spa Technology
TOTO introduces a showering experience as relaxing as a soaking in warm bath. This is the power of the Warm Spa. A single voluminous pillar of warm water flows silently from TOTO’s overhead rainshower or handshower, enveloping the body’s curves in relaxing warmth, without heat loss or splash. With Warm Spa, TOTO presents a completely new showering experience that warms the body thoroughly without wasting water.

Classic Multi-Mode ShowerheadOverhead Showerheads
To its wall-mount overhead shower line, TOTO adds two modern-design showerheads (single mode and multimode) and one classic style (multimode model). The two multimode showerheads offer five spray patterns – bubble spray with soft, restorative droplets; bubble spray and spray; spray and massage; and massage. These showerheads feature rubber nozzles distributed across the sprayface to provide an immersive showering experience at a mere 1.75 gpm, which meets the California Energy Commission’s water 2018 efficient appliance regulations.

Handshowers
TOTO also introduces two modern-design and one classic-style round multimode handshowers that offer the five spray patterns outlined above -- and a single mode modern round handshower. TOTO’s new handshowers flow at 1.75 gpm, which meets the CEC 2018 efficient appliance regulations. Their spray faces contain rubber nozzles that prevent lime scale build up.

Safety Thermo with SMA Thermostatic Valve Technology
The new Global showerheads and handshowers are equipped with Safety Thermo with Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) Technology. TOTO’s SMA valve features a nickel and titanium alloy coil which responds to temperature changes more quickly than traditional wax-based systems, preventing scalding.

Mini Unit
To facilitate design-savvy homeowners and designers developing elegant, unique shower configurations and balanced spatial designs with TOTO’s new Global Shower System, the company developed universal valve platform – MiniUnit. TOTO Mini Unit Rough-inTo accommodate a widest variety of design options with its 16 new valve trim designs, TOTO knew this universal valve platform had to be as compact as possible and standardized on a global scale. This led to the perfection of the world’s smallest embedded valve, which takes space design into consideration. With MiniUnit, TOTO has enabled designers and homeowners to create beautiful designs in an efficient manner, helped make it easier to expand design variations, and contributed to easier installation.
