DOE Efficiency Rules not Dishwasher Safe

Dishwasher manufacturers are warning the Obama administration its latest efficiency standards for their products could wind up using more water and possible create public health problems. The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers says the Department of Energy proposal to increase dishwasher efficiency standards, allowing only 3.1 gallons to be used to wash each load of dishes, is politically motivated, not grounded in sound understanding of technology and would result in consumers often re-washing dishes, possibly multiple times, thus erasing any efficiency gains.
