Teeth brushing– <1 gallon. Newer bath faucets use about 1 gallon per minute, whereas older models use over 2 gallons.

Hands/face washing — 1 gallon Face/leg shaving — 1 gallon

Dishwasher — 6-16 gallons. Newer, EnergyStar models use 6 gallons or less per wash cycle, whereas older dishwashers might use up to 16 gallons per cycle.

Dish washing by hand — About 8-27 gallons. This all depends on how efficient you are at hand washing dishes. Newer kitchen faucets use about 1.5-2 gallons per minute, whereas older faucets use more.

Clothes washer — 25 gallons/load for newer washers. Older models might use about 40 gallons per load.

Toilet flush — 3 gallons. Most new toilets use 1.6 gallons per flush, but many older toilets use about 4 gallons.
