If your home was built before the mid-90s, your toilets could be using up to 3.5 to 7 gallons of water per flush. In a state like California, where water conservation is a way of life, that is essentially flushing money down the drain. Upgrading to a modern low-flow toilet is one of the easiest ways to lower your utility bills and improve your home’s septic system design efficiency.

At Davis Plumbing, we’ve helped countless Riverside County residents make the switch. Here is why it’s a smart move for your 951 home.

1. Massive Water Savings

Modern “High-Efficiency Toilets” (HETs) are rated at 1.28 gallons per flush (GPF) or less. For an average family of four, switching from an old 3.5 GPF model to a 1.28 GPF model can save over 15,000 gallons of water per year. That’s a significant reduction in your monthly water bill!

2. Better Performance (Yes, Really!)

Many people remember the early low-flow toilets of the 90s that required two or three flushes to get the job done. Today’s technology is vastly superior. Using advanced trapway designs and pressurized air, modern low-flow units often have more clearing power than the water-wasters of the past, reducing the need for frequent plumbing repair or plunging.

3. Protecting Your Septic System

If your home is on a septic tank, every gallon of water you flush has to be processed. By reducing the volume of water entering the tank, you put less stress on your leach field and extend the time needed between your next septic tank inspection. It’s a win-win for your plumbing and your property.

4. Increased Home Value

Buyers in the 951 area look for “green” features and updated fixtures. Installing stylish, high-efficiency toilets in your bathrooms is a relatively inexpensive upgrade that makes your home more attractive on the market.
