Other suggestions? Yeah, turn the valve off except whilst running the
washer. Get good hoses, and replace them regularly.

We had the cold-water hose to our washing machine split and run out all
night. Flooded the adjacent room - an old carport converted into
additional room with concrete slab floor and carpet. The wash room has the
washing machine and water heater. I'm concerned about a similar thing
happening again, or something happening with the water heater. If I could
get a small pump that would sit on the floor and tube into the elevated
washing machine drain, and if it could sense water and automatically turn
on, then I would be ahead of the game maybe. Assume I would put some kind
of rim there so water would stay in a pool. Any suggestions about size of
pump, type of pump, possible vender, etc.? Any other suggestions? Home
Depot has nothing like that short of a sump pump, which doesn't look
practical. My dreams are becoming unpleasant.

Thanks,
