Are you confused about whether to choose a brand, price, or functionality when buying sanitary products? How do you make your choice? Check the Water Efficiency Labels to see how much water they consume – Grade 1 is the most water-saving.
But which of your home’s water taps, showers, washing machines, urinal equipment, flow regulators, and toilets are water-saving? Just check the labels to find out!
Water Efficiency Labels: Grade 1 is Most Water-Saving
The Water Efficiency Labelling Scheme (WELS) is similar to energy labels for household appliances, displaying a product’s water consumption and efficiency grade. The labels are graded from 1 to 4, with lower grades indicating more water-saving products.
The labels show a product’s water consumption in units like “litres/minute” or “litres/use”. Generally, the lower the value, the more water-saving it is. In addition to water consumption, the labels display the product’s efficiency grade (1 to 4). Grade 1 is the most environmentally friendly, while Grade 4 is relatively more wasteful of water resources.
