water is not the problem. Electricity is.

and besides, not everything go in the dish washer. And moreover some the dish washer soap can attack the surface of many things => increasing the need to replace those things...



I think people in California, Cape Town, or various similar locales might disagree with the idea that conserving water is unimportant. How much electricity does a dishwasher really use, anyway?


About 1-2 kWh and 4-6 gallons of water per use.


you're right, while trying to open the eyes of the older poster, I actually closed mine :-( oops
