Frequently Asked Questions

Am I eligible to get free toilets?

We can determine eligibility with the main site address associated with your water bill. If there is no past participation and your existing fixtures are 1.6 gpf, you qualify! Please note, buildings built after 2014 were required to be constructed with high-efficiency toilets and are not eligible. Contact us to get started today!

Why is LADWP offering these for free?

California is one of the leaders in renewable energy and water savings. With the state experiencing record drought conditions over the last decade, utilities are mandated to assist with water conservation, and high efficiency toilets are one of the most cost effective ways for them to assist. LADWP is committed to assisting this statewide effort with aggressive incentives. Contact us to get started today!

How much will I save on my water bill?

Depending on your existing fixtures, the new fixtures will save anywhere from 25-67% of your flushed water. Depending on your overall usage footprint, (irrigation, showers, toilets, etc.), your water bill will save between 15-35% overall. Contact us to get started today!

What toilet brands are offered?

All brands that we recommend are water sense certified and rebate approved with the highest MAP Scores (grams per flush). Our standard no cost models are Seasons Keating (HD Supply), Royal Conservation & Western Pottery. While any rebate approved toilet can be installed, some brands are more expensive and will incur a copay. Insider Tip: It’s all about the MAP rating! Some expensive brands are not as highly rated as the commercial brands we recommend. Contact us to get started today!

How long does it take to get my toilets replaced?

Planet Optima will request the initial reservation on your behalf with a recent LADWP water bill. Rebate approval can take up to 5 business days. Once approved, your property’s lead time is usually within 2-3 weeks of approval and our teams can install up to 75 toilets per day depending on property needs. Contact us to get started today!

My building has already participated, but has 1.6 gpf toilets. What can I do?

Please get on our waiting list immediately. There are potential programs in development that would allow for a no cost upgrade for buildings who participated prior to 2011. Contact us to get on the waiting list.

Are there rebates outside of LADWP?

Yes! One other program that will bring no cost toilets is the MWD pre-1994 program. If your property was built before 1994 and is in MWD territory, (southern Ventura to San Diego), it may qualify. There are also many other incentives available that may not be free, but potentially low cost. Please contact us today for more details.

Can I get a free toilet for my house?

Yes, but you will have to pay for it to be installed. You can apply for a rebate at socalwatersmart.com. Planet Optima does not currently install fixtures in single family residences.

If LADWP is offering this for free, how does Planet Optima benefit?

Planet Optima completes each project from A-Z including rebate applications, site evaluation, installation, haul away and final rebate processing. The incentive allows a fair margin for contractors to complete the upgrades at no cost within the boundaries of the incentives available.

Does Planet Optima offer other water saving measures?

We have extensive experience with shower heads, aerators, flushometer (commercial) toilets and urinals. Contact us if you are interested in any of these measures.

What else does Planet Optima do?

Planet Optima is a full service renewable energy company. We can install any renewable upgrades you need including LED fixtures, Solar PV, showerheads and aerators, pool equipment, boilers, thermostats, windows and more! Contact us today to see what we can do for you.

“Working with Planet Optima was a great experience. They made the process easy to understand and handled all of the heavy lifting. Jane was available at every step of the way to quickly answer any questions we had. Overall we were able to get over 75 toilets replaced in 2 days. I would definitely work with Planet Optima again.”

Conor O.Property Manager, MDT Properties

“First off I have to say I was very worried when I found out that our community was going to get a toilet conversion. Once I completed the walk with Planet Optima I felt more at ease and confident that this project would be handled professionally. I would recommend Planet Optima for any future toilet restoration projects that you might have. They did a complete and thorough job and were very attentive to all the residents and kept their area clean and neat throughout the project.”

KerwynService Manager, Decron Properties

“Planet Optima recently replaced over 800 toilets in our apartment building. We were thoroughly impressed by the the speed and precision of their replacement crews. Planet Optima is highly recommended to other properties upgrading plumbing fixtures.”
