1) put a trap in the PVC (it has none) and buy some beer
2) put some sort of one-way check valve in the PVC and buy some beer
3) duct tape or otherwise seal the hose into the PVC and buy some beer
4) buy some votive candles and beer.

5] Go to the hardware store and buy a small rubber thing made to seal
the laundry hose to the pipe. They are sold just for that purpose.
They are gray rubber-like material. They slip over the 1 1/2" PVC,
and the approx. 1 inch hose fits into it. There is a hose clamp on
both sides of it. Problem solved !!!
