This could be either based solely on drying-mode water consumption per kg dried (i.e. Proposal 3 in Table 19) or on combined washing and drying performance (i.e. Proposal 4 in Table 19). Figure 24 illustrates the range in total water use in drying-mode that CWD WELS labels would show in Step 1 the range is from 11.4 litres to 76 litres. – Buyer awareness of water use in drying-modes and the removal of water authority rebates incentive should lead a proportion of purchasers who would otherwise select a CWD to purchase a conventional FL instead. Buyers who are so sensitised to water use that they will forgo a CWD
