In this episode, Teresa McMaugh joins the Tradie Connection Podcast to explain what the Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS) are, how they work and how plumbers can bring it into their day-to-day life.

The Australian government recently launched a free online course to help tradies save water, energy and money. It will also help them understand their legal obligations under the Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards Act 2005. You can check our WELS Product Registration Database to confirm the registration status and water efficiency information for the WELS registered products you are planning to buy. Visit their website at www.waterrating.gov.au or email [email protected].
