Has anyone had any experiences of washing machine adaptors for kitchen
sinks? Seems like a bad idea to me! I feel sure I nshould fit a completely
seperate washing machine waste stand pipe. Any comments appreciated.

I have a stand pipe waste for my washer and a sink trap adaptor for my
dishwasher. It all works fine even when both machines are used at the same
time.

My personal preference is to fit a dedicated stand pipe, even if it
ultimately enteres the same outflow pipe as the sink etc. However I have
used the adaptors in the past and can report that as long as you fit
them after the sink trap they seem to work ok. (my mum had one that
fitted into the sink trap once - but above the water trap. The result
was lots of noise from the plug hole every time the machine emptied!)

I have one (fitted by previous owner) - it occasionally backs up into
the sink a bit if the trap is getting clogged with greasy crap, but
that's just a reminder to take it out and give it a scrub. I suppose if
the blockage suddenly got bad then it could overflow, but I don't think
that's very likely.
