Will this pump work with lint going through it from a washing machine discharge ? I need a pump to grind up the lint

I am not using the pump in that type of configuration. Suggest you look at the specs to figure this out.

under liberty pump application the 404 and 405-series will handle small debris and solids such as laundry lint(up to3/8")associated with grey water from a sink. Larger solids should be kept out of the pump system.

Yes it should. There is a lint strainer that you can remove and clean. The lint cover is on the top of the pump and is easily accessible

I don't know about grinding anything up but ours handles the kitchen sink, dishwasher and washing machine. Sometimes all at once. We've had no problems with it.

I have it connected to my washing machine and the sink and works very well but I am not sure about the lint.

I believe a clothes washer hose has the same end connections as a garden water hose-so yes with the adapter connection provided-it should work just fine. It is what I originally used when I bought the pump-I connected an old garden water hose to it and it worked okay--just not enough volume through a small hose so it just takes longer to move the all the water.

It should work for that esp if it'd only be a one time use. Its supposed to be a "clean water" pump but I've used mine for a couple of years to pump semi-dirty water out of my basement floor drain. You may want to use an old nylon or rag as a filter on the end drawing the water/gas. Just cover the end of the hose with whatever you use and wrap a rubber band around it. Good Luck!!

I wouldn't think so because a sewage pump has a lot of power. It has to liquidize the sewage. A washing machine is just trying to get the water out of the tub. This unit is for a basement type pump where there is serious elevation of the water required. I cant see a washing machine be capable of pumping higher than a few feet anyway. (??)

Doubtful, the base of the suction unit is at least that thick as it lays flat on the ground, and you would constantly be losing prime on the pump, most likely burn up the impeller.

The short answer is "yes", otherwise the "source" liquid you are trying to pump can't get started when you turn the pump on. Also, the machine generates a lot of suction and after cleaning up a mess from failed garden hose collapsing and connections leaking, found that a set of washing machine hoses were sturdy enough to hold up.

I think it would work for a much longer outage than that. I'm not sure what your pump is rated in gpm vs. basepump gpm, but as long as they're close, you should be fine.

I google'd your machine and it appears much newer than my Duet washer. I went to appliancerepair.com and looked up the pump for your washer and it appears to be the same pump. I figured for the price it might be worth a shot!

Probably not. If cleaning it fixes it, I assume you mean cleaning the impeller, and it will work until it clogs up again, my guess is, based on the iformation you have prvided. The problem would be that the pump is not designed to pump what ever is clogging it. If it works after it is cleaned out the switch would be operative.

do you mean the tool for cleaning out the lint? Make sure the buckets are securely connected to unit.

I use mine to pump water to a water slide going into the pool. Based on what I've seen, I doubt it has enough flow to vacuum the pool.

Yes it will. You may want to dial up the chlorine setting when the pump is on the lower speed.

The pump will work but the hose size is different, so you would have to reduce your hose size. Otherwise it would work.

Not sure. If that drain runs to the input of the pump, it most likely won't do any good. The suction from the pump will not allow the particles to plug up the leak.

My power washer is not craftsman. I went by the fact that the pump is a fit-all pump. My pump fit like a shoe. Your pump is 2800 psi. Mine is 2750 on a Briggs and Stratton 8hp. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work on your machine

Probably. It's pretty tough. I have a different sump pump for my washing machine, and, to be safe, I run the grey water through a screen-window type of netting to catch lint. I made a frame for the screen out of eight approx. 1-foot segments of ½" PVC pipe, one central "X" connector, four 90 deg. angles, and four end caps. Basically an "X" with 4 legs, pointing up; screen sits on top of (capped) legs, stapling screen to itself, around/over legs, so it doesn't come loose. Whole thing sits in a utility sink that drains into the sump pump. Has worked like a charm for 7 years. Just make sure the washing machine outlet pipe is secure, so it dumps into the ~center of the screen. Probably. It's pretty tough.

The flow rate through the pump and filter will be reduced a little. Consider the strain on the motor when the filter is dirty--the tiny bit of additional strain due to smaller diameter hoses will be nothing compared to that.
