In a space devoted to personal hygiene, it makes perfect sense to limit the transfer of germs from hands to surfaces and back again. The sleek, softly contoured ModernLife back to wall Touchless Flush toilet suite is the next generation in hands-free technology whereby a sensor, positioned beneath the lid of the cistern, is activated by simply passing a hand over the top of it. Earlier touchless technology relied on a beam-based sensor that could easily be mistakenly activated by general movement in the vicinity of the toilet.

Kohler’s HygieneMax rimless pan technology contributes yet another level of hygiene to the ModernLife design — delivering a robust, double wash-down with optimal coverage of the interior bowl.

The ModernLife Touchless Flush toilet suite also offers a choice of two comfortable, quiet-close seat designs — the low profile Slim and the sophisticated Elite model. The latter features battery operated deodoriser, with a choice of fragrance packs, plus an LED night light.

And while Touchless technology is the hero of this toilet suite, there is also a side push-button for manual flush.

Kohler’s ModernLife back to wall Touchless toilet suite has a four-star WELS rating (4.5/3.5L dual flush), meaning it is well within new build codes, while its suitability for both P-trap and S-trap connection makes it ideal for retrofits.
