Water bills keep climbing in many Canadian households. Municipalities across the country are introducing stricter water use regulations. Older toilets waste thousands of litres each year simply because they use too much water per flush.
The TOTO Aquia IV toilet solves this problem. This ultra-high-efficiency toilet uses as little as 0.9 gallons per flush for liquid waste and 1.28 gallons for solid waste. The dual flush system lets you choose the appropriate water volume for each use.
DynaMax Tornado Flush Technology
The Aquia IV uses TOTO’s DynaMax Tornado Flush system. Three jets around the rim create a powerful 360-degree swirling action. This swirling motion scours the entire bowl surface, washing away waste thoroughly. The design reduces the need for manual bowl cleaning.
The flush mechanism uses less water than conventional toilets. The 1.28 GPF setting handles solid waste effectively. The 0.9 GPF setting manages liquid waste efficiently. Both settings deliver the cleaning power you expect from a TOTO toilet.
CEFIONTECT Ceramic Glaze
The CEFIONTECT glaze coating creates a smooth, non-porous surface on the bowl. This microscopic glaze prevents debris, mold, and bacteria from adhering to the ceramic. Waste slides away easily during flushing.
This glaze reduces cleaning time significantly. The smooth surface wipes clean with less effort and fewer cleaning products. The glaze also resists staining, keeping the bowl looking newer for longer. This feature proves especially valuable in humid bathroom environments.
Elongated Comfort Bowl
The elongated bowl shape provides more sitting area for comfort. This design suits adults of all sizes and is the preferred choice for most modern bathrooms. The regular height accommodates most users comfortably.
The 2.5-inch trapway features a clear glaze coating. The smooth interior surface reduces the chance of clogs. Waste moves through the trapway more easily than through smaller, unglazed passages.
Skirted Design
The completely skirted design conceals the trapway and mounting hardware. This creates a smooth, clean appearance without visible plumbing. The skirted surface makes cleaning easier since there are no curves or crevices where dust collects.
The chrome push button flush operation adds a modern touch. The buttons sit on top of the tank and feel satisfying to press. The quiet flush technology minimizes noise during operation.
Installation Details
The standard 12-inch rough-in fits most bathroom configurations. Optional 10-inch and 14-inch rough-ins are available for non-standard installations. The two-piece construction simplifies installation and handling.
