They’re hygienic. Self-cleaning. And they even have a fountain.
Hygienic
Self-cleaning toilets are hygienic because they eliminate the need for paper. Even if you do use a little toilet paper, you can rest assured that it will be completely flushed down the drain.
Smart
The Veil smart toilet is equipped with a built-in sensor that knows when someone has entered or exited the bathroom, allowing it to automatically flush when appropriate. This can save time by eliminating the need for manual flushing and cut down on water consumption as well.
Fountain
In addition to its smart features, Kohler’s Veil also offers one of the most luxurious features in any bathroom: an integrated fountain that uses sound waves to create water droplets.
The Veil’s gentle yet powerful flushing system has a gravity-fed, siphon jet and an integral trap way, creating a powerful flush that leaves the bowl cleaner with each use.
The siphon jet incorporates a patented design that generates a fast-flowing vortex of water within the bowl to sweep waste away from the trapway, eliminating clogs at their source.
Heated seat and heated foot warmer
A luxurious heated seat and heated foot warmer are sure to make you feel like royalty. The heated seat is a great feature for people who have trouble sitting on cold toilets, or anyone who has arthritis or other chronic conditions that make it hard to sit down. A warm toilet seat is also nice if you find yourself sitting in the bathroom for long periods of time (if you’re sick, say). You can sit back and relax while reading a book or sipping hot lemonade—a perfect way to end your day!
Auto open-and-close lid and flush-activated bidet wand
The bidet wand is activated by the flush. The wand is heated to a comfortable temperature and is adjustable for personal cleansing preferences. It also self-cleans after each use, which reduces odor and bacteria buildup.
CeFiONtect system ceramic glaze
CeFiONtect system ceramic glaze is a super-smooth surface that resists stains and scratches. It has a smooth, hygienic surface that makes wiping easier and more effective. The ceramic coating is applied to the toilet bowl in a process called CERAMIC ENAMELING. This process involves vaporizing large quantities of paint onto the toilet bowl in an oven at high temperatures.

For those who aren’t confident in their ability to do it themselves, Kohler does offer installation services for $200 plus tax in most places.
IMPORTANT! Use the supply hoses provided with the fixture. Do not reuse the previously installed hoses.
Installation of a water hammer arrestor is recommended.
