The Toilet of the Future: Next Generation Bidet Takes Off in U.S. Markets

Long a European and Japanese tradition, the bathroom bidet has taken
off in American markets with a uniquely high-tech product called the
Solution ComfortSeat.

Pinizzotto said he and Samuel added an extra "l" to the company's name because it looked better.The Swash, which slides into a docking bracket, is designed to fit 95 percent of what the company says are 220 million residential toilets now in use in the United States. It is connected to the toilet's water pipe and requires a nearby electrical outlet.Although infrared controls have made automatic flushing and sink faucets common in public bathrooms, basic toilet technology "hasn't changed much in 200 years," Pinizzotto said.Click here to launch the video!
