Which is a better source of water conservation, running dish water or using the electric dishwasher? 27% 3 Votes

dishwasher is almost always better.
you can probably look up how much water it actually uses.

then you can time how long you spend washing, and see how many minutes it takes you to fill a gallon jug, and calculate how much water you use washing by hand.

however, nearly everyone rinses dishes with the water running full blast. if you only turn the faucet on part way, you%26#039;ll save quite a bit. 18% 2 Votes
