Most people, going to buy a washing machine, began to consider an important characteristic – the average water consumption at a time. This factor must be taken into account, because today few things are washed by hand, and this leads to the consumption of a huge displacement every month. If you’re wondering how much water a washing machine takes in and uses, the average is up to 1/1 of all the water consumed by three people. Therefore, it is very important to think about choosing economical washing machines that help to rationally spend money. Finding out how much water a washer needs for one wash is very easy. Installing a counter will allow you to cope with the calculations. Write down the readings before turning on the program and after turning it off. Conduct such studies with several modes. This way you will know which washing program consumes the least.
Washing consumption
Any washing machine spends a lot of water on washing, and it is not always possible to save money, which leads to financial expenses. What determines the consumption of a washing machine? First of all, from the washing machine model. Modern automatic machines are equipped with “smart” modes programmed for savings. Therefore, the purchase of a machine should be accompanied by the following knowledge:
- Tank size. A large tank in the machine is the first sign of a large consumption of water for washing and rinsing.
- washing mode. Washers have many modes: some of them consume a minimum, while others, on the contrary, spend many liters at a time.
- Frequency of use of SM. Some housewives wash 1-2 times a week. At the same time, the laundry is diligently collected in the basket, sorted by color and the tank is loaded to the maximum. So the average cost will be minimal. But other owners of washing machines prefer to wash every day, but a small amount of clothes. This results in high water consumption.
- Health status. Those who care about their health are afraid of causing allergic reactions that may occur due to the fact that all the powder has not been washed out of the fabric. Therefore, users select a mode, and then set to an extra rinse. This instantly increases the volume of water spent.
Important! Have you noticed that when you select the economy mode, the water consumption increases? Perhaps there was a malfunction in the washer.
SMA is equipped with a passport, in which the manufacturer must indicate the average consumption rate. When studying dozens of SMs, it was calculated that water consumption per cycle is a minimum of 38 liters, a maximum of 80 liters. We calculate on our own how much water the washing machine consumes. The figure today is approximately 59 liters.
Important! If your SMA is consuming more, it could be due to a serious breakdown. Take a closer look. If you find a malfunction, contact an experienced master.
