How much water does it take to wash dishes?

Answer 1

The number of gallons of water a Whirlpool dishwasher uses depends on the model and the age of the dishwasher. The older models use quite a bit more than the newer models. The Whirlpool model WDF530PAYB, uses around 3.47 gallons of water when set on the normal wash cycle.

Answer 2

Answer 1: Many times people will keep a constant flow of water going to wash and rinse. A dishwasher uses only enough water to get the job done.

Answer 2:

This would greatly depend on which person doing the job as compared with a dishwasher.

Most campers do not use a dishwasher simply because it use far to much water compared to doing the dishes by hand. (The added problem of demand of electricity too of course.)

A family of 5 can save a lot of money on electricity and water every year by doing their dishes by hand. The main reason for people to use a dishwasher is the comfort of not having to spend a lot of time doing it by hand.

Some people doing dishes would only let the watertap running and rinse everything under running water. This does not save water compared with a normal dishwasher.
