REFLECTION QUESTIONFresh Water Dishwasher EfficiencyHow can your region/household prepare for changing water situations in order to become more resilient?
Jill Reilly 4/21/2020 2:37 PMI don't use the dishwasher because I live alone and have so few dishes. I realize a dishwasher uses water more efficiently than washing by hand, but it also heats the water so uses electricity. To conserve water while washing by hand, I wash in one step and rinse in a second step.
