Which one save more water using a dishwasher or doing the dishes by hand?

Question

Which one would save me money on my water bill?

Answer 1

By using dishes by hand save more water cuz you can control the flow coming from the faucet, bucket or etc.

Answer 2

Depending on how many dishes you have to wash. If you live in a crazy house like mine where there can be a full sink of dishes every night. The dishwasher is the better choice. If you live alone and you only have a handful of stuff to be washed. The sink is the better option or wait until the dishwasher is full in 3 days time. Good luck

Answer 3

I would think that washing them by hand would save more money.  A good dishwasher uses 4-7 gallons of water per load, plus the electricity that it takes to run it. Washing them by hand uses 3-5 gallons (depending on the amount of dishes) and a little bit of your time.

You be the judge......

Answer 4

Doing them by hand will save the most water.

Answer 5

How much water is used depends on the dishwasher you are using, how efficient it is, how old it is.  Apparently only 10% of household water use is in the kitchen.  You may want to look to the bathroom to cut your water bill!

Answer 6
