Choosing Water Efficient Products
When purchasing a new water using product, be sure to choose a top rated WELS product or one certified by Smart Approved WaterMark. That way, you can be sure that your new product will be water efficient.
Australia’s Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS) scheme allows consumers to compare the water efficiency of different products using a star rating system. You can save money on water and electricity bills and help the environment by buying more water efficient products!
Garden products approved to use the Smart Approved WaterMark label can help make your watering more efficient such as mulches, soil wetting agents and irrigation controllers. There are also rainwater diverters to capture water to use on the garden and greywater systems to help reuse water around the home.
