Water Conservation through Products

The 3D sensor detects the movement of the drum and the inverter optimizes the rotation speed. In addition, the load sensor and foam sensor detect the load of laundry for optimal washing. With these functions, the washer has achieved the top-level water saving performance^*1 in the European market, in addition to being highly energy-efficient.

• *1 Uses 6.25 liters of water to wash one kilogram of laundry. As of June 2010 (surveyed by Panasonic).

This dish washer/dryer is equipped with our unique Powerful Disinfecting Mist technology to ensure high washing power and with a Nozzle Switching System Jet Cleaning for efficient circulation of water. Moreover three sensors detect the dirt level and volume of the tableware to be washed for optimal automatic operation, thereby saving up to 80% of the water when compared with washing by hand, in addition to saving energy.

Water use per single washing^*2
Washing by hand: Approx. 95 liters per washing
Model released in FY 2011:
Approx. 11 liters per washing (NP-TR3 with standard course)

• *2 53 dishes and 24 smaller items (based on the voluntary criteria of the Japan Electrical Manufacturers’ Association).

This can save water not only when showering but also when cleaning the bathroom. The shower reduces the flow volume without weakening the pressure, and saves about 15% of water used when taking a shower, compared with the use of a conventional shower.^*3 You can also save about 36% of water when used in cleaning the bathroom. This is because the shower can both double its power and double the spray area, making it more effective in rinsing off cleanser foam.

• *3 Conventional shower (dynamic water pressure: 0.2 MPa; flow volume: 10 liters per minute) as defined by the Japan Valve Manufacturers’ Association.

Quantity of water flow per minute^*4
Showering: 8.5 liters per minute
Cleaning the bathroom: 6.4 liters per minute

• *4 When dynamic water pressure is 0.2MPa.
