CONSUMER’S CORNER

Doing the laundry while saving water is a concern and Electrolux in Australia has addressed this issue by introducing a new top loader that uses less water.

The Water Aid uses a unique water recirculation system that pumps water from the outer bowl and into the washbowl, where it is needed. Advanced water sensing technology also helps set the water level to suit any load size or fabric type, further reducing water required and wash time.

As the average wash load is usually less than 50 percent of the average machine capacity, using only enough water for a specific load is the key to delivering extensive water savings.
