California's water conservation regulations establish specific efficiency requirements for toilet replacement in residential properties. When an Encino homeowner replaces a toilet, the replacement unit must use 1.28 gallons per flush or less, meeting the high-efficiency toilet standard. American Home Repair Services installs code-compliant toilet replacements for Encino homeowners, including the wide range of high-efficiency models that meet California's standards without sacrificing performance. The generation of toilets that were standard in Encino's postwar homes used 3.5 to 7 gallons per flush. The water waste difference between a 1960 toilet at 5 gallons per flush and a modern high-efficiency toilet at 1.28 gallons is enormous. For a family using the toilet 20 times per day at 5 gallons each, switching to 1.28 gallons saves more than 70 gallons of water per day. Modern high-efficiency toilets have addressed the performance concerns of early low-flow designs. Current 1.28 gallons per flush models use the full water volume efficiently, with well-designed bowl geometry and flush valve timing that produces consistently effective clearing performance.
