Traditional Washing Machine Water Usage
Traditional washing machines use almost twice as much water as newer, front-loading or high-efficiency models, such as a GE HE washer or Maytag 4.2 Top-Load Washer. If you have an older or top-loading washer, you can expect to use between 30 and 45 gallons of water per load.Click to see full answer.
Also asked, how much water does a top load washing machine use?
Conventional top-loading washing machines with center post agitators use about 40 gallons of water per load. Compare that to front-loading machines that use somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 gallons.
Subsequently, question is, how do I get more water in my GE washer? Add a little more water: Press the Deep Fill button once before starting the cycle to add 3 gallons of water to the wash load. Once the washer has stopped filling, you can press it again to add 3 more gallons. Full Tub Fill: Press and hold Deep Fill button for 3 seconds to fill the washer to the maximum water level.
Simply so, how many gallons of water does a washing machine use per cycle?
Most high-efficiency washers use only 15 to 30 gallons (56.8 to 113.6 L) of water to wash the same amount of clothes as older washers (29 to 45 gallons per load (109.7 to 170 L). The most efficient washers use less than 5 gallons (18.9 L) per cubic foot of capacity.
How much water does laundry use?
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that a standard washing machine uses 41 gallons of water per load, but a highly efficient washing machine uses less 28 gallons of water, saving of 6,000 gallons of water per year for an average family.
