Just how much water would you expect to save with a front-loader?
I've read the Neptune's can save you about $12/year in
electricity! I somehow doubt they last long enough to make up for
the extra up-front cost.


If you burn Hydrogen in an Oxygen environment, you get "fresh
water."

All other water is "used" water.

Water is the ultimate reusable resourse. And, if you look at your
water bill, none of the charge is for the water itself - water is
basically

free.
You're really paying for the delivery.


In a washing machine, saving water also means saving HOT water.


Good point, but how much hot water are you saving? I'm not arguing
with you guys I'm just asking. What is the water capacity with an
average front-loader as opposed to a top-loader? I have a well and
use as little water as possible/needed but if it only adds up to a
couple hundred gallons a year then I would have to consider how much
that is worth compared to the cost of a front-loader...

When I was trying to diagnose my top-loader I came across MANY sites
and discussions about front-loader problems. Most of the problems
were quite expensive. I was not even looking for this information.
They sound like way too much maintenance.

Sewers are metered now?

No. The way they do it is just charge the sewer charge per 1k gal based
on the water use. 1k gal in = 1k gal out.

Please! Let's not start some useless thread about evaporation, outdoor
hose usage, drinking water and ****ing somewhere else.
