Water efficient appliances

You can save water and money just by choosing water wise appliances.

To help you choose the best option, look for Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS) labels, mandatory in Australia. It’s simple – the more stars on the label, the more water efficient the product.

These labels apply to all showerheads, washing machines, toilets, dishwashers, and urinals. The scheme also applies to some types of taps and includes minimum water efficiency standards for toilets and some flow-control devices. You’ll find more of your questions answered on the Australian government’s water rating site.
