I just need to filter the water between my washing machine and the cold water supply. Can you install it using flexible hoses? If so, what kind?

Two of these hoses because if one bursts you will be sorry 3/4" Fgh x 3/4" Fgh 5' Stainless Steel Washing Machine Hose and two of these adapters Gilmour 3/4-Inch Brass Double Male Hose Connector 7MH7MP5P

This is ment to be plumbed in to the main line. I'm sure its possible to use hoses given the right adaptors.

I'm sure you can do it. You just have to get the right fittings and flexible pipe. After you get the filter housing, take it to a plumbing supply house or even Home Depot and put together what you need.

Yes you will have to disconnect all plumbing. Yes you can use flexible hose although I recommend union fittings at all connections that will need to be removed eventually for maintenance purposes, such as changing sand.

The filter does not attach directly to the faucet, it uses a long flexible hose that connects to any standard faucet.

Unfortunately I can't speak for that model. Mine has two 1/4 inch metal pipe connections located on the top. The cold water is supplied to the unit by my house's 1/4 inch copper line. It connects at the top with a plastic quick connector which is supplied. The hot water line comes out the other connector to a rubber hose and on to the supplied faucet. It is held by a plastic hose clamp.

It would not work for a whole house filter but it could be dedicated to the cold water line at a kitchen sink for example. The thread size of the filter head connections limit the line size and losses within the filter limit the flow and pressure. You may not have the pressure and flow rate you normally expect.

Yes! A hot and cold water line just as you need for any other washing machine!!

Ours is installed in the basement and filters only the cold water to the kitchen. I don't believe it could effectively filter the entire house. But it is not meant to.

I used it primarily to clear the flex hose, I have about a 12 feet run with an accessible coupling in the middle. The bristles are quite soft and pliable so you may be able to run it thro' the filter channel inside the machine. I think if I was to try this I would feed it by hand into the machine rather than spin it up with an electric drill, that way you can detect if it will get caught up anywhere. I would guess that the minimum opening that you could safely ut this brush into would be 2" diameter. I hope it works for you.

That is true. We have all house soft water except the cold water in the kitchen. We were able to link it into that.

I have both hot and cold water outlets on the side of my house. I connect a washing machine hose (one with a Y shape) to the faucets and then to the shower unit. Works great. If it ever gets warm again up here in New England I'll be able to use the outdoor shower again.

yes, as long as it doesn't have a long distance between the threads and the end of the shower head beyond the threads. My wife wanted a flexible shower head from Water Pik. There was too much distance between the threads and the end of it to also have the filter work.

If you are getting a hose with a quick connect fitting the filter isn't necessary and has no place to be connected to this type of connection. Also, this hose has the regulator attached. If you don't want a quick connect fitting and prefer using a screw on hose then you will definitely want to employ a filter. The regulator is already incorporated as part of the screw on portion of your heater.

Buy the cold water only version and save a few dollars. No sense paying for a feature you can't use unless you run a hose clear across the bathroom.

I bought a piece of flex hose and an adapter that is used to connect RVs to the sewer at campgrounds. Got it at Home Depot. There was a hose connector and hose. I sliipped the connector over the end of my blower and used a single piece of duct tape. Works incredibly well. Without having flex this device is useless

There's 3/4 inch threaded ends for hot and cold to attach to your hot and cold water lines. Hope that helps.

I am not a plumber- however I only put one on our cold. Our hot water line goes through a heater that has a separate screen filter before it goes into the heat exchanger.I would think the best way to tell if you need one on your hot water line would be to check the screen on the washer. If your hot water input has sediment, then yes. Otherwise I would think you would only need one on the cold.

We have flexible plastic-like hoses for the water connection (from the water turn-off to the underside of the faucet).
