When I was finished just because I am strange, I measured the water left in the sink with a gallon pitcher. By the way when I was done, the water was still hot and soapy and I could have washed more dishes just didn't have any more to wash. Total gallons in sink: 4 and 1/2 (this is an estimate after 4.) There was not enough water to total 5 gallons. I am unsure how many gallons to rinse but for argumenative sake I will say 2 gallons. so I am currently at 6.5 gallons of water. Now if the site is correct then my dishwasher is only using a gallon of water to do the dishes. How is that possible?
