Should I buy steel reinforced washer hoses?
You can buy hoses that shut off when they detect a burst-- they do
this by restricting the flow a little bit at the far end... if the
flow is greater than that at the near end, it shuts off. They're not
expensive.
One note-- this works only if the water's on. If you shut the water
off but there's a small amount of water flow, you defeat the purpose
of the auto shut off.
