[quote=Anonymous]I switched from a high efficiency BACK to an old-style top loader (Speed Queen). For sure, it uses more water, but the amount is negligible in our overall water bill. I agree with the others that it is more likely to be a toilet or leak. Some other things to consider: - How often do you run the dishwasher and how old is it? - How often do you do dishes by hand? - Any chance a kid is letting the water run while brushing their teeth? - How long are showers, especially for kids? - Do you have a basement or a slab foundation? Any possible leaks in your foundation? - Do you have a sprinkler system or drip irrigation for any flower beds? Leaks there can add up FAST. - If you can, turn off the water at the house and then go out to the street and see if the meter is still spinning. If so, there may be a leak between the house and the street and the water company should come out and take a look. [/quote]
