Run dishwashers full
Dishwashers can be thirsty items. Even a dishwasher with a low water use rating can use the equivalent of two sinks of water per wash. Older models can use more - up to 40 litres. The way to save water is to operate your dishwasher only when it is full. This way you will also save on your power bills.
