Default washing machine discharge water...need help


wrote in message
...
i want to collect the discharged water from the washing machine, is
there a hose end adapter to fit a regular garden hose and where do I
find one if they exist. tia


A garden hose will present problems. Best to plumb it to the collection tank
with PVC (same as drains use) or a large diameter hose. If you put
restrictions in the line, you will have a backup in the machine. Once
collected, you can use a smaller hose to take it to the next step.

Be aware that there are going to be a lot of contaminants in the water so
check that it is safe for your intended use.
