    (1)     For the purposes of section 164(1) of the Act, the levels of ratings prescribed for any appliances, fixtures and fittings which use or supply water are—

        (a)     a 3 star rating in the WELS scheme in the efficiency rating system referred to in regulation 23(1)(a); or

        (b)     if, because of the age, nature or structure of the plumbing in the caravan, a replacement with a 3 star rating referred to in paragraph (a) cannot be installed or, when installed will not operate effectively—the highest rating in the efficiency rating system referred to in regulation 23(1)(a) of a replacement that will operate effectively.

Examples

1.     If a 3 star rated tap or shower rose does not produce sufficient water pressure because of the age of the plumbing, a one or 2 star rated tap or shower rose may be installed.

2.     If a 2 star rated tap or shower rose cannot operate effectively, a one star rated tap or shower rose may be installed.

    (2)     Nothing in this regulation prevents the use of an appliance, fixture or fitting of a level of rating above the level of rating prescribed in subregulation (1).
