    It won`t be visible. It will be next to the washing machine and laundry basket. And there probably won`t be any smell because it`s a pipe connected to the shower drain. Yes, it would stink.

    If you don`t place it too low, it will pass the test, of course if it doesn`t leak at the connections.

    When looking at the final solution, which leaves the diameter of the final section unchanged, one should expect water leaks which will be sealed and the water being sucked out through the siphon will remain as it was. That`s not my problem. The end is apparently in a septic tank, so it will fill up faster.

    Look again, the diameter of the tip has been significantly changed, if the author uses a typical gasket for a washing machine hose, there will be no problem. These seals are not 100% tight, secondly, increasing the diameter will prevent negative pressure from occurring and the end of the hose will be at a safe height.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around a user's concern regarding the drainage setup for a washing machine connected to a shower drain in a new apartment. The user describes a potential issue with the drain hose configuration, which resembles an inverted "U" shape, leading to concerns about water drainage efficiency. Responses highlight differing opinions on the effectiveness of the setup, with some suggesting that the hose should be suspended above the washing machine drum to prevent water wastage, while others argue that proper drainage can still occur if the hose is correctly positioned. The importance of ensuring that the drain pipe's diameter is larger than the washing machine hose to avoid leaks and maintain washing efficiency is emphasized. Various solutions and modifications are proposed, including the use of adapters and ensuring proper sealing at connections to prevent backflow and odors.
