Calculate Water Factor (WF)



Formula

The formula to calculate the Water Factor (WF) is:

\[ WF = \frac{\text{Water Used}}{\text{Load Size}} \]

What is a Water Factor?

The water factor is a metric used to compare the water efficiency of different washing machines. It is calculated by dividing the total water used by the load size. The lower the water factor, the more water-efficient the washing machine is. This is an important consideration for consumers looking to reduce their water usage and for manufacturers aiming to create more eco-friendly appliances.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Water Factor (WF):

\[ WF = \frac{\text{Water Used}}{\text{Load Size}} = \frac{40}{3} ≈ 13.33 \]

The Water Factor (WF) is approximately 13.33.
