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.
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.
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.
