Laundry Room Hook-Up: Has anyone else used the laundry drain hook-up?
1457921
I have had one for 3 months now with no issues. I have extended both pipes to 16foot (water(smooth) and drain(ribbed)). the drain pipe runs at floor lvl. then up about 3-4foot to the drain and has 2 connection in it. for easy to clean if anything gets stuck in it. The water pipe has a cut of vale where it connects to the mains. after my setup i done one dry run. and everything worked and lasted around 20-30mnis. the 2nd run i put in what was left over in the old cat tray (around 5 big bits of you know what) and it picked them all up and flushed them all away with out any problems. I have not had one issue from the unit apart from the pellets do seem to get everywhere but it is wooden floors and we do not have a mat at the unit. but no problem for us. We have not had any smells but thus far not had any left overs when the dry unit kicks in. well to what i have seen but i don't watch it when it does it work. some times when i walk in to the room that has the unit i see the cat on the shelf watching it clean away. both cats used this unit within 2 days but the old cat litter tray was in bad shape and one of the cat has an issue to use the carpet if the litter tray is bad. this is why we get this unit. as we can both h8 cleaning the old litter tray out.

It has a hose that hooks to the faucet on your kitchen sink. It just slips onto it. If it doesn't fit your sink (it fits most sinks), then you could simply pour half gallon pitchers of water into it till you get it about 3/4 full. Put clothes in first and then fill it. When the wash cycle is over, place the drain house in the sink and let it drain and then refill it for the rinse cycle. Six minutes seems to get our clothes really clean. Then 3 minutes for the rinse cycle. Less time because you have less clothing in it than with a full size washer. Overfilling the machine with too many clothes makes agitation (movement of machine to clean) impossible. Overfilling with water will cause some water to leak out the drain hose which is hooked in an upward position during wash and rinse cycles to keep it from prematurely draining. Machine fits pretty easily on the counter next to sink. You need only a small amount of laundry soap for each wash. It does not spin dry the clothes. You will need to wring them out or buy a small spin dryer. You could also place the machine on a table or counter and put a bucket under it for when you need to drain it. You could fill it via a garden hose. It seems to work well with cold or warm water.

GE GTWN 4250 is the one I got, it was on sale at Sears over the Holiday weekend. Just make sure it will work with your drain set up. We have old house with a higher stand pipe and I don't think it quite drains all the way. Other than that it is a FANTASTIC washing machine! My clothes are actually CLEAN and it doesn't take two hours to wash a single sheet!!!

I have never had an issue with that. I actually like this drainer very much and would order again. The ONLY negative comment I would have is the silverware holder. You have to be aware of which end to direct items or they will slip through or items like knives will get wedged.

I had this hooked up to my kitchen sink but later moved into the bathroom and all the attachments needed came with the washer. It was easy to hook up, I don't recall any glitches at all. I have had this for more than a year, and I could not recommend this washer highly enough. It cleans my clothes so well, I'd been going to a laundromat for so long I almost forgot what really clean clothes smelled like. I have a couple friends who almost beg me to let them do laundry at my house because it cleans so much better than a coin operated machine. It is quiet, and doesn't seem to use much electricity.

I do have one of these units and installed it myself in our basement. As to the question if a drain through the wall would work. Yes you can run the drain through the garage wall. I ran mine up and along the rafters to my drain.

That is pretty much how I have mine set up. I moved my washer and dryer to the basement and installed a deep sink beside them. I installed a drain pipe running along the wall to behind where I installed the Deep sink up to the washer. When I inserted the Washer hose into the drain pipe I did so with a rubber 2" to 1.5" adapter and used radiator hose clamps to draw the ends tight over the pvc and the washer hose, this prevents any back lash and I have had the pump and washer pushing water both at the same time with no issues at all.

So do most houses have an extra cold water lines in the laundry room? My apartment in Korea has plenty cold water lines in the laundry area but we are moving soon. I don't want to buy something now that I will later have to plug and unplug when I wish to wash clothes, ya know?

I have not tried that, if you have an outside hose or a laundry room with a laundry sink use that after you shake off all the litter.

It's been almost a year since I reviewed my "Batch" disposal...Since then I have to say that my Waste King Batch fed disposal is a "Pain in the Ass" to operate AND if I had it to do over I'd switch to another type. Simply switching an on/off wall switch is much more sanitary than putting your hand in the sink's standing filthy water to depress the "batch's" plunge On/Off switch.

I haven't. Ours worked great. The only problem I had was when someone moved furniture and moved the time by accident. Hope this helps

Yes My wife and I have-- and it works great. We used it between our kitchen and our laundry room to keep our dog out of the laundry room so he couldn't chew up our clothes--It is easy to install and easy to open, turns good on the hingesand easy to adjust if you follow the directions

Hmmmm. You do need reasonable pressure to make it work. I'm concerned about your application, though. This is primarily a thing that allows you to "dump at home" where you don't have typical sewer hookups. You run the hose in the house and stick it into a convenient sewer drain. (I use a clean out.) Not sure why you would choose this if you had standard hook ups available. Does that help? It is a dandy gadget that allows me to clean and dump easily at my convenience at home on my Rv pad, Vs holding up a line at a gas station...

I have not tried that. the connection on the sink unit is for a garden hose to be screwed into. I bought it to use while i had my kitchen torn apart for remodel but had it hooked to the garden hose.

sorry it took so long to respond... I have not used a drain line! This AC unit is fantastic! It evaporates out the exhaust!

Unfortunately, NO. That was a major goof by B&D.; I made room for it on my laundry room shelf. I'm used to it by now, so I guess it isn't critical for it to hang on the wall. This vac is super powerful. I'm glad I bought it.
