SanaGloss™ Glazing
Clean Finish
Innovation. It's what keeps TOTO center stage. And from
it comes TOTO's latest advancement - SanaGloss™. This
new ceramic glaze can help clean your toilet's surface
with every flush. It reduces the growth of bacteria and
molds and also helps prevent staining, scaling, and lime
buildup. The same industry innovator that brought you
the quiet power of TOTO's G-Max flushing system has
created this state-of-the-art, high-gloss finish. The
result - a cleaner, more hygienic bathroom experience.
SanaGloss™ seals the bowl with an ionized barrier,
creating a super-smooth surface. This non-porous surface
helps prevent particles from adhering to ceramic, while
a catalyzed ion barrier actually repels particles away.
The combination of these outstanding features has
yielded a ceramic finish that will completely change the
foundation of conventional glazing.
SanaGloss™ is featured on two of TOTO's most prominent
toilets — the Vespin and Carlyle. Add the G-Max flushing
system, and you'll discover one of the most powerful,
cleanest flushing toilets on the market.

Smoothness on a nanometer scale helps prevent debris
from sticking. With nothing to cling to, particles,
molds, and bacteria can be washed away with every flush.

Extreme Measures
Meeting industry testing standards
just isn't enough. So TOTO surpasses them. TOTO believes
a toilet should be designed to meet the requirements of
life, not just the lowest government standard. So they
test. And test. Pushing their products, far beyond
industry requirements, to ensure unmatched performance.
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) only
requires a toilet to pass four basic tests. TOTO has not
only proven itself in these tests, they put their
products through six additional (simulated usage) tests
that go above and beyond these government imposed
standards.
What does all of this testing deliver? Industry leading
performance. Is it a little extreme? TOTO thinks so.
But, they wouldn't have it any other way.

|
It's The Size That Matters |
 |
 |
 |
| The minimum standard required to
pass through a trapway. Small trapways can cause clogs. |
For many toilets, this is the
maximum size test ball that will pass through their
trapways. |
TOTO's 2-1/8" extra large
trapway can pass a 2" test ball without clogging. This
ball is 33% larger than the industry standard. |
