sanitizes and freshens your toilet bowl by circulating ion particles

adjustable settings, there are also two shortcut buttons for its Easy Wash and auto Wash N Dry
functions near the bottom. Both remote controls are intuitive and easy enough to use for all ages
Nozzle Construction
The TOTO K300 uses a single, plastic nozzle for its various wash functions

is uniquely curved so that it minimizes splash-back and achieves a better cleaning angle
