Washing machine drain connection - Washing machine drain problem

Question

Hello, I have a problem with the drain from the washing machine, I moved into an apartment and the drain from the washing machine is probably connected to the shower, I have a hole for the drain in the shower tray practically on the ground and the question is whether such a connection will be OK...

kecajk49 · Answer

The first wash cycle will go without a problem, but then eggs will start to form and you will waste a lot of water!

mattyy · Answer

This is what I`m afraid of, that a lot of water will escape, I have the drain hose from the washing machine as above, but the water drain is at the ground.

Added after 49 [minutes]:

After talking to a plumber friend, he said that it would be best if the washing machine hose was suspended on hooks above the drum, and the drain hose into the sewer could lie on the ground.

kecajk49 · Answer

This plumber`s advice is nonsense! You will find out during washing, just watch how it wastes water. The wash will finish, and if you start with the first one, the main wash will be done in the remaining powder.

What kind of connector would I install at a height of 50 cm?

kecajk49 · Answer

Ok, but with access to air!

Mierzejewski46 · Answer

The plumber`s advice is good. There is no way water will leak from the washing machine. Gentlemen. For this to happen, there had to be water in the hose, in the entire hose, and it would normally not be there. The water comes up to about half the height of the washing machine. I have a drain in the floor and nothing escapes me. Mercy.
It just has to be suspended as in the photo.

How does a siphon work? In new houses and after renovation, drains are made low, and washing machine manufacturers or those installing the washing machine ensure the appropriate height.

Of course, the plumber is right, during pumping the hydraulic lever will work, but when the tank is refilled there will be an air gap. Only the drain pump will activate the lever again. Regards

Mierzejewski46 · Answer

This lever also sucks. I flooded the laundry room twice because of a crappy washing machine. If the pump does not pump out, not much will leak out, despite the lever. But now I have a new one. Bosch😁

It`s not the plumber`s advice that`s nonsense, it`s your speculations that are nonsense.

kecajk49 · Answer

Read with understanding, unfortunately I won`t teach you this.

Of course, the Germans will screw everything up! Regards Added after 1 [minute]: Kecaik49 - It`s a pity, I was already looking forward to more cartoons. Regards

mattyy · Answer

So I can make the drain hose on the washing machine as in the photo above, i.e. at the top above the drum, and the drain to the tub can go through the ground?

Anonymous · Answer

It may be necessary for the highest level of the hose to be higher than the maximum level in the washing machine. Regards

mattyy · Answer

Guys, the diameter of the drain into the sewer is smaller than the diameter of the hose, I can`t insert it...

Anonymous · Answer

Maybe a photo? There are adapters

Mierzejewski46 · Answer

Ooooh. Is this your first time doing this?

Tommy82 · Answer

Try increasing the glide.

Anonymous · Answer

Hmm, he didn`t give you a standard connection, for now, make a pipe that fits the drain, an old marker, a piece of PEX pipe, whatever. Ultimately, he should improve it because it is not known whether the siphon works. Regards
Just for the test! Because you`ll be painting your neighbor`s bathroom if it slides out in the middle!

Mierzejewski46 · Answer

True. Lubricant would do the trick. But it also tends to fall out after using it... It goes in and out easily.

Tommy82 · Answer

If it goes into the corrugated one, it will hold.

Mierzejewski46 · Answer

True. It will get stuck on the hat.

mattyy · Answer

New apartment, otherwise there are drains and I didn`t get the right information from the owners... I`ll keep trying, guys, thank you very much for your help ❤️❤️

kecajk49 · Answer

The pipe into which water from the hose is to flow must have a larger diameter than the hose, and not be pressed and sealed. Because it will become an extension of it with all the consequences in the form of wastage of water and detergent, i.e. washing efficiency.

Anonymous · Answer

Agreed, we don`t know what the plumber came up with under the shower tray, it was some "fuzz", hopefully it wouldn`t back up into the shower tray. He did it on the principle of "what I have, I will give". Regards
Plus he ruined a nice cabin.

mattyy · Answer

Guys, I came up with something like this, I put a hose that fits almost perfectly into the drain, I connected the hose to the pipe and the 50 goes up, it will be attached to the wall. Will he pass the exam?

wojtek1234321 · Answer

If it doesn`t leak at the joints, it may pass the test. Apart from the fact that it may be a bit of a nuisance on the wall and look nasty, and maybe stinks from the septic tank may escape through this pipe...
