Smart toilets: intelligent plumbing for comfort

This plumbing miracle - so you can call the toilet with smart electronics, greatly simplifying the passage of daily hygiene procedures. Today, the demand for such gadgets is only growing and, judging by the reviews, in the very near future, toilet bowls with “smart” stuffing will become an integral part of most users. While holding the price of the product, but, remember, once and cell phones seemed something fantastic, but now they are for everyone. Intellectual technology does not stand still, it is tightly included in various fields of human activity, including such as physiology.

Smart toilet is often called the miracle of technology. Indeed, who would have thought that such a banal subject of hygiene would be the focus of attention of the inventors.Last invented all sorts of bells and whistles that can plunge into shock. The toilet has an intellectual filling. It allows it to automatically determine the presence of a person in the room, raise and lower the seat and cover, drain water, clean the contents, heat the seat, turn on the aroma, plug in the night light and much more.

Such plumbing can be found in the homes of Japan and China. For residents of these countries, smart toilet bowls are commonplace. They are installed in public places - shops, train stations, cinemas. In America, intellectual plumbing can be found in the residences of rich people. In our country, such toilet bowls are surprising. They are the most expensive, and rightly so. Their appearance is caused by two desires of people: to save natural resources and achieve maximum comfort.

If you do not look closely, then smart plumbing does not differ much from conventional toilets. However, the "mind" gives the remote, which is located on the side. The thickness of the seat exceeds the plastic simple analogues by almost 10 cm.

Plumbing has all kinds of sensors,which transmit the task to the electronic device. For example: raise the lid, turn on the light in the room, warm the seat and much more.

It is worth noting that a smart toilet works not only according to its intended purpose, but can also perform the functions of a bidet. And it saves space in the room.

Plumbing has nodes for seamless connection to the electrical network and communications.

Miracle-toilet has a surface that does not accumulate sediments of organic origin. Therefore, the technique does not need constant care and cleaning.

Manufacturers use only durable materials in their products. Parts are made of duraplast and styrene-acrylonitrile.

Plumbing new generation has a significant disadvantage (in addition to the high price). In the absence of electricity, the toilet just turns off, only the sewage system remains working. After the power is restored, the technician will have to reconfigure.

Such smart toilets, as a rule, have a remote control with which you can adjust its work without going to the toilet.

You can also configure the power consumption mode.If this is the “economy” mode, then all functions will tune to the minimum rates.

Likewise, you can adjust the flow of water.

There are suspended and floor toilets. The latter look familiar and easier to install. But suspended on demand ahead of them. However, the installation has some difficulties. A massive support frame is required. The latest models are available without a rim.

Manufacturers produce two types of toilet bowls - the so-called base, which have a minimum number of functions. There are luxury models with an extended selection of offers for meticulous care.

The safety of the product is given special attention. All water and electrical circuits are closed by the so-called save – system. Antibacterial coating protects against germs, and treatment with ultraviolet light does not give the slightest chance to dangerous microorganisms.

Each of the manufacturers of smart plumbing tries to bring several innovative solutions to the product so that they have their own competitive advantage. For example, in the toilet with a bidet function, there are several modes of washing.This can be a regime for the whole family, as well as for people with sensitive skin, for example, for women.

Recently, manufacturers have paid special attention to the possibility of hydromassage. Given that most people, and this is very significant for Japan, sit in offices, lead a sedentary lifestyle, hydromassage acts as a preventive measure against diseases of the pelvic organs.

Water that is supplied for washing, aerated and does not cause skin irritation. The owner himself can determine the pressure of the jet and the temperature of its flow. There is no need for hot water in the water supply system. The smart system itself will heat it to the desired temperature.

Plumbing is equipped with a control system. There is a function of aromatization, due to which there are simply no unpleasant odors in the toilet room. The seat is equipped with heated. After the hygienic procedures, the built-in hairdryer will dry the parts of the pelvis that have been carefully cleaned.

The cover of the miracle technique opens automatically. And also gently closes after the completion of procedures. Some models have night light functions. They warm the room and even turn on the music.

There is a technology WASHLET. In the plumbing there is a special retractable rod, it is supplied with water for washing. The system can be customized for individual requests. This concerns the angle of water supply, its temperature and pressure. It also has features such as heated seats, air aromatization and drying.

Flushing system Tornado flush, thanks to three jets of water, allows you to clean the toilet inside on all sides. A whirlpool that cleans better than any brush is formed. Smart toilets have a durable coating, and all these qualities bring them into the leaders of the world of modern plumbing.

Japan is considered the ancestor of "smart" toilets. It was there that the developers tried to give the "intelligence" of such a seemingly mundane thing. Buy a Japanese toilet is not a problem, they are in a large assortment on the market plumbing. Every year the functionality of the models expands. Increasingly, these toilets are called computer or electronic.

They can be bought at any Japanese supermarket in a specialized department. In the Russian market, such products are sold only in plumbing stores.

Against the background of all the "Japanese" stands the brand toilet Toto with the name WellyouII. Manufacturers have supplied the plumbing with a manipulator with a spoon, which takes a urine analysis and monitors the state of sugar in the body. The prospect of developing the future in this direction is being built - home medical centers that can take all the data about the state of the human body from pressure to exact weight.

American manufacturers are also not inferior in quality and characteristics to competitors from the East. For example, Calipso. The toilet is controlled by a powerful processor. There are many functions - from silent flushing of water to hydromassage. The set is about the same as that of Japanese manufacturers. Allows you to conduct self-diagnosis.

China does not remain aloof from these trends. Xiaomi company offered consumers intelligent bidet covers for installation on conventional toilet bowls. There are several modes for washing the pelvic organs, including sparing for women, as well as the function of massage. The seat itself is heated, there are 4 temperature modes. There are 11 buttons on the control panel, including “night lights”, “ultraviolet processing”, “jet intensity”, “directionality of water”, etc. The console is protected from water.The cover fits almost all models of toilet bowls. The only disadvantage that the cover manufacturers will have to work with in the future is the absence of a remote control. No automatic lifting and lowering of the cover.

As for the price, it is significantly lower against the background of complete sets of smart toilet bowls.

Another interesting option is folding. Iota toilet. It is not burdened with intellectual stuffing, but it has its advantages. Designed by the British University Huddersfield. Given that many toilet rooms have small areas, it will become a real find. It looks like a clam shell and hides in a wall. If the bowl is down, the plumbing is used for its intended purpose. Upon completion of all actions, the bowl turns up against the wall and the contents are automatically flushed out. In the closed state disinfection occurs. In addition, the design of the toilet allows its owner to save up to 50 percent of the water. For comparison, when flushing the usual toilet uses up to 6 liters, and folding - about 2.5 liters.

Smart toilets produce a number of countries.

Turkish manufacturers supply toilet bowls Vitra. They are presented in two categories: increased degree of comfort and basic. In the manufacture of durable materials used. Work remotely and manually.

South Korea offers consumers toilets without cisterns. The flushing system goes straight from the water main. Allows you to save water and electricity.

Another famous Japanese company Panasonic produces intelligent plumbing with double air cleaning, with spare batteries in case of interruptions in electricity.

Owners of smart plumbing speak of smart plumbing as a miracle that made visiting the toilet as comfortable as possible. As manufacturers say, the most important task today is how to make people use smart toilet bowls. Well, those who have tried at least once do not want to go back to the old toilet, which has been tried for years. Another disadvantage that is available to intellectual technology is the absence of an electrical connector in the toilet for connecting the "smart guy." Plumbing uses low electrical voltage. Therefore, you need to take care of this before buying an intelligent toilet.

And, of course, all consumers mark the high price of the product, but it is worth it. You can say this is an investment in your health, and you don’t feel sorry for any money for it.

The installation of such a toilet bowl is exactly the same technology as usual. The greatest difficulty may arise when connecting it to the mains.

So that the water hoses are not visible, make a notch in the wall. The standard dimensions are 1200x600x200 mm.

The toilet "put" on the nuts with silicone gaskets. When installing the pipe is important to guess the size. A short can give a leak, a long one will not allow to dock tightly with a wall.

Power point must be very high in the niche. In order to have access to communications, it is recommended to make the hatch.
