Dishwashers reuse filtered water to conserve household consumption

Internal pumps continuously recirculate water through spinning spray arms

Automatic dishwashers use a small internal reservoir filled with water, continuously pumping it through rotating wash arms at high pressure. Water drains through fine mesh filters to catch food debris before being recirculated, using far less water than washing dishes by hand under a running tap.
