Can a Washing Machine Pump Water 6m to Sink with 80cm Elevation? Hose Specs?

Question

Hello I am a student and I plan to buy a washing machine, the problem is that I do not have much to put it in the bathroom (small student flats :P ) and I wanted to put it in the kitchen, but it is far from the water drain in the sink. I do not want to lead 2 snakes through the threshold in the...

In my opinion, the length itself does not matter. What matters is the height at which you place the end of the hose! If it is too high, it will not spill your water, and if it is too low, the water can drain freely from the washing machine.

marcinelektronik · Answer

The hose can be as long as you want because the pump pumps the water to a certain height and then the water flows freely.
So as you can see, if you have a washing machine upstairs, you can run a hose to the basement.

mrhari · Answer

And the length and height are important, because the longer the hose, the more water the pump has to push through, because more water will be left in it. Most likely, the pump can do it, but it may shorten its life. I think that 3-4m is the maximum but it does not mean that at 5m it will not work. Hose diameters, try to leave as they are.

I used to have a vending machine hose running almost around the bathroom, of course of necessity . There were no problems with draining the water, despite the 8m hose. ARDO A400 washing machine.

marcinelektronik · Answer

You write something strange: Imagine a hose 20 meters long stretched horizontally and hanging 2 meters high and pour water into it, it will run down to the bottom and overflow from the hose. The pump is only designed to pump the water to such a height then the water flows by itself. A colleague did not write that he would leave a 100-meter hose wrapped around the washing machine, because it would certainly be too much for him to wash. It can be concluded that the hose will have a fall all the time and there is no need for the pump to pump water in the hose because it flows by itself.

Samuraj · Answer

The length does not matter here, but its arrangement does. It is important that there is a slope and that the drain is not placed above the outlet of the washing machine drain.
The pump itself will only pump out of the washing machine into the hose where the water will drain itself to the lowest point, in this case it should be e.g. sewage system.
How do you have a washing machine on the 10th floor, what cannot have a drain in the basement?
The situation is different if someone had a washing machine on the ground floor and the drain on the 10th floor, then the pump will not be able to pump that amount of water.

mrhari · Answer

I recommend that you familiarize yourself with the picture. See section 2.3 Water outlet

nelik1987 · Answer

I know what you mean, only you do not know what I mean, I mean that when I lead the hose from the washing machine, I will lead it along the floor through the entire kitchen and only next to the sink I will lead it up to the height of the sink, i.e. about 80 cm or this is how it will work or not?

godzuki23 · Answer

Well, it probably won't work well. The washing machine takes in more water or there is not enough water in the drum. Water will flow into the hose as it will be below the drum. At the washing machine, wrap the hose approx. 70 cm, and then it can go on the floor.

nelik1987 · Answer

and I like something like that when I understand it correctly, it cannot be 5-6 m, my English is quite poor but the drawing shows that it is not, right?

Remeknapr · Answer

Sorry but I do not understand. Has a friend ever seen an automatic washing machine and knows the principle of the water pumping system? Maybe a slip of the tongue? At least for me and all my friends and neighbors, the outlet of the drain hose from the washing machine is ABOVE the outlet of the washing machine (pump).

Samuraj · Answer

Exactly, I am returning the honor I slipped. If the hose is too short, you can put a ?32 PVC pipe along the wall, remembering about the slant. I myself have it done in the bathroom behind the bathtub.

Remeknapr · Answer

I suggest not to take these pictures too seriously. Rather, to recall the principle of the operation of communal vessels and to draw conclusions about the arrangement of the hose. As for its length, it does not have a greater impact on the operation of the pump in the range of several meters.

Paw_el · Answer

Hello. Remeknapr I do not agree with that, because it may not influence its operation, but its lifetime does. However, another matter is that when the drain hose is too long and connected, e.g. sealed under the washbasin, sink or sewage system, it may also happen that the first time the washing machine is discharged from the rinsing and when the solenoid valve is turned on for the next rinsing, water may be sucked in and automatically poured out to the sewage system. nelik1987 If you have this long hose, the best advice is that it should be placed on top of the sink.

Remeknapr · Answer

With all due respect to you, whether you agree with me or not is of little importance to the topic. The more that you do not give any sensible argument in favor of the influence of the length of the hose on the lifetime of the pump. I don't even know what you mean. Does the lifespan of the pump increase with the length of the hose, or vice versa?

Paw_el · Answer

Remeknapr I did not intend to provoke you into a polemic, but to signal the author of the topic to take into account the more frequent possibility of replacing the pump or its motor. It is rather obvious that the lifetime of the pump working in this way will be shorter, also col. mrhari in his first post on this topic. A meaningful argument? The electropump in the washing machine is only a pressure pump and has its capacity specified by the manufacturer for a 1.5 m standard hose, the manufacturer's correction rarely brings improvement, and often on the contrary. I have often replaced old type pumps overheated or burnt. at present, magnetic are even weaker with the creativity of users.

tomus2k · Answer

The pump in the washing machine is impeller with free flow, so the length of the hose or the height does not affect the service life. Working time, on the other hand, is important, water contamination with solid elements is important. You must remember that the hose does not come out too high or under a bad slope because it may not pump out the water. Just like a motor in a fountain placed too deep, it will not work well, but it will work as long as it is placed right under the mirror.

Remeknapr · Answer

It is not obvious, because why? Besides, it is not true. And if a colleague mrhari you refer to thinks that the amount of water in the washing machine (to be pumped out) depends on the length of the hose, that's not my problem anymore.

elek555 · Answer

A seemingly trivial topic and basically everyone is aware that even the 8 m to the sewage system is not a problem, but the siphon should be made as close to the washing machine as possible (preferably on the original handles on the back wall). Simply the amount of dirty water left before siphoning from the washing machine side is unfortunately proportional to the amount of odor that can potentially be released in the room in the period between washes. And there are no perfectly sealed pumps. Unfortunately, often (even in people with engineering diplomas) the hose runs across the floor and the siphon is only the edge of the drain.

mrhari · Answer

I think so and wrote it so? And it's interesting where If you want, you can extend the drain hose, e.g. by 10m. If by 10 then why not by 15 or 25 meters. Or maybe by 100m and lift the end of the hose by the above-mentioned 80cm. Somewhere the limit of the length of the hose to which the pump can pump water from the washing machine must be. Am I also wrong? Maybe you can extend it indefinitely? 4 to 5 meters and that's enough.

Remeknapr · Answer

Is this a quote from your post or is it my mistake? And the length and height matters, because the longer the hose, the more water the pump has to push through, because more water will be left in it. Not indefinitely. It is obvious . I understand that it is just 5-6m and I wrote that this length does not have a significant impact on the operation of the pump. I have not written that it has no effect. greetings
