Advisory Notes for the Purchase of Water Closets with WELS Labels

• One of the aims of the Scheme is to provide consumers with information on the levels of water consumption and efficiency ratings of plumbing fixtures and water-consuming devices. The Labels do not imply that water closets comply with any statutory, product quality and functional requirements.
• Consumers are advised to follow the manufacturer’s or importer’s instructions if a WELS registered water closet pan and a WELS registered water closet cistern are purchased separately.
• Consumers are recommended to match the Water Efficiency Grading of a WELS registered water closet pan with the grade of a WELS registered water closet cistern. For example, Grade 2 water closet pans matching with Grade 2 water closet cisterns.
