SensoWash® Arcova fits most standard elongated toilets. That is the entire premise.

Duravit built SensoWash® Arcova for the U.S. and Canadian markets, an electronic bidet seat engineered to work with fixtures the company didn’t manufacture. For specifiers, that changes the math. A shower toilet used to mean replacing the bowl. Now it can mean replacing the seat.

The hardware earns its place. A continuous-flow instant heater supplies warm water on demand, with no holding tank. Rear and front wash adjust independently for water temperature, spray intensity, and wand position. The stainless steel spray wand cleans itself before and after every use. Comfortwash moves the wand back and forth mid-cycle.

Comfort features run deeper than the tier usually allows. Five heated seat settings. A warm air dryer. Automatic deodorization. A soft white night light calibrated to orient without fully waking. The contoured seat encourages a better seated position, a quieter ergonomic argument than most bidet seats bother to make.

Operation runs through a slim waterproof remote. The seat’s low profile keeps visual weight down, which matters when the surrounding ceramic wasn’t specified as a system.

That is where Arcova gets interesting for commercial work. Multifamily developers and hospitality operators rarely get to swap every fixture. Arcova adds a wellness amenity to existing stock without touching the bowl. Duravit has spent years pushing the architectural end of bathroom design. Arcova runs the other direction, extending the same technology outward without thinning it.

Sometimes the smartest spec is the one that skips demolition.
