For example, if there are 8 people in a household, and according to the equation for calculating hot water use by household clothes washer (cw_use = 1.1688^per+4.7737^per gal/day) = 1.1688^8 + 4.7737^8 = 269,679 gallons per day!!!! This does not look right at all.

Thankyou for a very informative article and everything we can do to cut back will help.
I am also working at getting off the grid and I am installing
a water4gas hydrogen generator on my truck that will increase the mileage and cut back on emissions.
My main goal is to be as self reliant as possible by using

Thanks again
