UV Sterilization
UV Sterilization is a cutting-edge hygiene feature designed to keep your bidet seat’s nozzle and internal components clean and safe. By using ultraviolet (UV) light—specifically UV-C, which is known for its germicidal properties—the system effectively neutralizes bacteria, viruses, and mold that can build up with daily use. Unlike chemical cleaners, UV sterilization works automatically and silently, offering peace of mind without added effort. This feature is especially helpful in maintaining a consistently sanitary environment, reducing the need for constant manual cleaning. It works hand-in-hand with other hygiene features like Self-Cleaning Nozzles to ensure your bidet stays as fresh as possible with minimal maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is UV sterilization safe for everyday use?
A: Yes. The light is safely contained and only operates when the seat is not in use, making it completely safe for daily use.
Q: Does UV sterilization replace the need to clean my bidet?
A: It significantly reduces the need for frequent manual cleaning but doesn’t eliminate the need for occasional maintenance.
Q: How long does the UV cycle last?
A: Most cycles last between 1–3 minutes and are automatically managed by the system.
Q: Will I see the light when it’s on?
