An Auto cycle type is becoming increasingly common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of these cycle types use a different amount of water. Express and Rinse cycle types will use less water than Delicate, Normal and Auto. The Heavy cycle type uses the most amount of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The water amount used by each cycle type varies because each cycle goes through different washing stages, such as Pre-wash, Main wash and Rinse.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of these stages uses different amounts of water and they can run numeros times, depending on the cycle type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Rinse cycle type uses the least amount of water because it goes through the fewest stages &#8211; just 1 Rinse stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Heavy cycle type uses the most amount of water because it goes through all washing stages, usually more than once.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s demonstrate this with an example (using the same model used to give a breakdown of <a href=\"https:\/\/ecocostsavings.com\/dishwasher-wattage-energy-efficiency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3205\"><strong>how many watts each key dishwasher component uses<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"860\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/ecocostsavings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/dishwasher-water-use-example.jpg\" alt=\"Dishwasher Water Use Example image of how much water different dishwasher cycles use\" class=\"wp-image-3217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecocostsavings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/dishwasher-water-use-example.jpg 860w, https:\/\/ecocostsavings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/dishwasher-water-use-example-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ecocostsavings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/dishwasher-water-use-example-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 860px) 100vw, 860px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This image shows the manufacturer provided cycle chart for the Samsung DW80K5050 Series dishwasher.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>As you can see, dishwasher water use depends on the cycle type due to the various cycle stages.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rinse goes through the least amount of cycle stages, followed by Express, which goes through 3 stages that use water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many other factors can impact dishwasher water use, such as the temperature and pressure of the water supply.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, let\u2019s use the above example to get a percentage estimate of dishwasher water use by cycle type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>One key thing to note is that the manufacturer\u2019s listed water usage is not likely to line up with water usage listed by ENERGY STAR.

However, old dishwashers do use a lot of water &#8211; nearly 5 times more than modern dishwashers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, if you\u2019re not careful even modern dishwashers can use a lot of water. If you don\u2019t fully load your dishwasher, you\u2019ll need to run it more often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to epa.gov, <strong>one dishwasher load per week can be eliminated<\/strong> if you fully load your dishwasher every time you use it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This can save the average family close to 320 gallons of water per year.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help answer the qusetion, &#8220;Do dishwashers use a lot of water?&#8221;, let&#8217;s add some perspective by comparing dishwasher water usage with the amount of water other common household appliances use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1 dishwasher cycle, which uses 3.22 gallons of water, is equivalent to:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>1 toilet flush<\/strong> (or half a flush if you have a modern toilet);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>7.8 loads of laundry<\/strong> (or 12.4 if you use an old clothes washer); or<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Running a newer kitchen faucet for roughly <strong>1.5 to 2.5 minutes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>These figures are based on water consumption data available on water.usgs.gov.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To add some more perspective, epa.gov (referencing usgs.gov) notes that 82 gallons of water is used every day by each American at home, on average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>With modern dishwashers using an average of 3.22 gallons of water per cycle, dishwashers can account for nearly 4% of your daily water usage.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have an older, less efficient dishwasher, you can expect it to account for <strong>nearly 20% of your daily water usage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, modern dishwashers do not use a lot of water if you use them effectively, while older models can use quite a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But how do dishwashers compare with hand washing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much water does a dishwasher use vs hand washing&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Modern dishwashers use 1.64 &#8211; 3.5 gallons of water per cycle, while hand washing uses 9 &#8211; 27 gallons.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Modern dishwashers can save a lot of water than hand washing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, older dishwashers can use over 16 gallons of water per cycle.
