Lint filter for washing machine drain
2 door wrote the following:
"Harry Avant" wrote in message ... I would like to add a lint filter to the drain on my washing machine. I've found a few but all state they are for use with drains running into a laundry sink and NOT standpipe drains. My washing machine drain hooks onto the top of a three foot high plastic pipe since there is no sink in the area. Questions: why can't I use a mesh sock type screen in this situation and is there anything designed specifically for this type application? Lint filter doesn't stay free of debris, guess what happens? I'm also curious why you would want to filter waste water. Seems to me, it would be like wanting to filter toilet water. Sewers are there for a purpose. Not everyone has a sewer system. Septic systems have to be cleaned out on occasion. The least debris you put into it, the further apart the costly cleaning requirement. -- Bill In Hamptonburgh, NY In the original Orange County. Est. 1683 To email, remove the double zeroes after @ |
