Water saving appliances
Water-saving toilets, shower heads and taps can save you a lot of water and money in the long term.
Here's how you can make some big savings:
- Toilets. Save around three-quarters of the water you would usually use in a full-flush toilet by installing an efficient dual-flush mechanism. This can save you up to 9 litres every time you use a half flush.
- Water-saving shower heads. Save around 18 litres of water a minute in the shower by replacing an old inefficient showerhead with a water efficient showerhead.
- Water-saving taps. Install low flow taps or tap aerators to reduce your tap water use from 18 litres per minute to 2 litres per minute.
The Water Efficiency Labeling and Standards Scheme
The Water Efficiency Labeling and Standards (WELS) Scheme helps you to compare the water efficiency of a range of products so you can choose the most efficient model for your needs.
WELS rated products can have up to 6 stars. The more stars the appliance has, the more water-efficient it will be.
The WELS labels also show a water consumption or water flow figure to help you understand how much water the appliance will use.
The number of stars can make a big difference even on low-cost solutions like showerheads. A 3-star showerhead might not cost any more than a lower-star product but you can save around $100 on your energy and water bills each year.
The WELS Scheme applies to the following products:
Plumbing products
Sanitary ware
