Best Way to Connect Beko Washing Machine Drain Hose: Fig.1 or Fig.2?

Best answers LABEL_AI_GENERATED

How should I route a washing machine drain hose when the waste pipe outlet is only about 30 cm above the floor, and which routing will avoid siphoning or noisy pumping?

Route it as in Fig. 2: take the hose up first, then down to the drain, because this setup is said to prevent water being sucked out of the machine [#18920912] One reply notes that the manual allows the hose to rise to the top of the washer and then descend to about 40 cm above the floor, with the drain not higher than 90 cm, while the ideal solution is to have the sewer inlet above the machine's water level [#18920893] [#18920987] Since you cannot raise the tiled-in outlet, Fig. 2 is the practical choice for your 30 cm drain [#18921023] [#18921125]

    I have this question for you, how to connect/plumb the drain hose to the washing machine correctly.
    The hose comes out of the washing machine at a height of 30cm from the floor. The waste pipe where the hose enters is also at this height (possibly 3cm higher).
    The picture below shows two options for how I can route it.
    Fig.1
    Hose from the washing machine straight to the floor, across the floor about 1m and up 30cm to the sewer pipe.

    Fig.2
    Hose from the washing machine upwards along the brackets mounted in the washing machine to a height of 80cm from the floor and then down to the floor itself, then along the floor about 1m and up 30cm to the sewer pipe.

    Which option should I choose. I ask because it seems to me that the washing machine goes too loud when pumping water out and it is new.
    Thank you in advance for your answer or to present yet another alternative version

    The manual from the washing machine shows such a drawing:

    Well, it is clear from the drawing that the hose can be routed to the top of the washing machine, as in your second drawing, and then it can be lowered to a height of 40 cm from the floor, not lower, and inserted into the drain, the drain cannot be higher than 90 cm from the floor (the level of the washing machine setting).
    I just don't know if, if the drain is below this 40 cm (as recommended in the instructions), the water entering the washing machine will not be "sucked" out of the washing machine through the drain hose.

    Well, what can I do if my drain is 30cm high?
    What happens if the hose is routed as shown in the drawing, i.e. upwards, onto the floor, across the floor and at a height of 30cm to the drain?

    .

    Figure 2 and nothing will be sucked out.

    Greetings.

    Depending on the time interval between the end of pumping and the start of water intake, the intake water may be sucked out together with the detergent taken for the main wash and the main wash will be carried out in its residue (after the PROVISIONAL wash) and rinsing may waste water because of this, This may or may not be the case after the intake water has been extracted, as it can also happen when the amount of water discharged by gravity is equal to the amount of water entering, and it cannot be ruled out that this may happen!
    It is therefore advisable to interrupt the connection between the hose and the sanitary system to allow air to enter, but who has this?
    How much water is wasted because of this/
    It is possible to raise the outlet to 80-90 cm by extending the plastic pipe to a minimum of 32 mm with a trap so that odours from the sanitary installation do not enter the room, but a normal nose will detect this!

    .

    Buddy, did you hear the pump eject the residual water ?

    You think the hose is full and then the next cycle comes on.

    Certainly not.

    Obviously a better solution would be to raise the sewer inlet above the water level of the washing machine and let it run over the 'soil'.

    Fig 1 , but above the water level in the washing machine (below - it will overflow).

    .

    Not an option, the sewer inlet is tiled in and I have no way of redoing this without renovating the bathroom.
    So stay with the option in fig.2 ?

    Measure at what level the water in the washing machine is.

    If above 32 - option two.

    If it is possible to plug the hose - it is possible to plug a rising passage.

    Show this "hole" in the tiles.

    The water in the washing machine starts to be visible at the 25 cm level.
    As for the drain, there is no way to push it in because there are tiles above it.

    I'm looking at this photo in #9 and I can't make out the outlet at 30cm (maybe 3cm higher). Point out maybe this outlet or take a more detailed photo with a description of what is where.

    Why not hang it on the loo?
    The hoses were (are) designed for this (bent into a hook).

    A simple and effective solution.
    I have always had it this way, maybe I am harming myself.

    However, if the loo is kept in a proper sanitary condition - not likely.

    Besides, dumping 95 degrees C. water with detergents should have a beneficial (killing) effect on the bacteria located there.

    Still, the dispersion of 'bacterial spray' when the water is ejected from the washing machine - greater is the case with ordinary rinsing.
    Perhaps someone can answer.

Topic summary

LABEL_AI_GENERATED
The discussion revolves around the proper connection of a Beko washing machine's drain hose, with two proposed routing options: Fig.1, which runs the hose straight to the floor and then up to the sewer pipe, and Fig.2, which routes the hose upwards along the machine's brackets before descending to the sewer pipe. Participants express concerns about potential siphoning issues if the drain is too low, particularly with the washing machine being new and operating loudly during water discharge. Recommendations lean towards Fig.2 to prevent siphoning, although some participants note that the drain height is problematic at 30cm. Suggestions include ensuring the drain is above the washing machine's water level and considering alternative routing methods, such as connecting to a toilet for drainage.
