The Aquatec 90 Ergo is a raised toilet seat that elevates the seating height on toilets for a better seating position. The Aquatec 90 Ergo has a unique seating height of 10 cm with or without a lid. It is fixed by simply placing it onto the toilet bowl. It sticks on it due to its adhesive material underneath.
