Is there a real difference in water and electricity consumption? Personally, I don’t use a lot of water to wash my dishes (by hand), but maybe I should install a flow meter to make sure.

What is your opinion on the subject? Do you have any evidence or studies available that could confirm your intuition? Or do you have other alternatives in mind?

    Depends whether you wash in hot or cold water. If you use more hot water washing dishes by hand then it’ll consume more electricity too.

      I use a dishwasher. Produce all my own power so that’s not a concern. Also on a treated well system so it really just makes more sense.

      Generally wait until it’s full before I run it but yeah. Inefficiency is the enemy.
