    Washing machine drain hose.

    Hi I'm unsure what is acceptable when routing the drain hose from a washing machine. Is the loop shown in the picture acceptable? Additionally, the rubber end to the drain hose almost closes off the 40mm opening of the stand pipe. I know that a gap must be present. Looking at the hose, the...

    We had water leak from the laundry sink into the cupboard below, then flow down the hole cut for the pipes (the hole was on the floor of the cupboard).. this water then went downstairs and flooded the downstairs bedroom that is directly above the laundry area. It makes no sense to me to cut the...

    Can I connect my washing machine waste pipe to this standing pipe?

    I have moved our washing machine into the garage but there isn’t a drain for the waste pipe. The attached image is of the waste pipe with the condensate pipe from the boiler, can I use a tee join and connect the washing machine pipe? The pipe leads outside and is saddled to the main waste pipe.

    Bosch sounds like a washing machine

    My recently installed Bosch is sounding like a washing machine. It started 4 days ago and goes through this cycle for 35mins twice a day. Using the shower in the morning usually kicks it off. Engineer’s coming in 2hrs but he doesn’t know what it could be from the video so I don’t have much...

    Installing a washing machine and dishwasher

    Hello, I'm installing a new kitchen which will have a dishwasher and washing machine. As I'm cutting/teeing into the cold mains 15mm pipe (before the kitchen sink taps) to feed the dishwasher and washing machine is it worth fitting a isolation valve with a built-in check valve? Regards Tezzer

    I’ve just put 99.% alcohol in my washing machine by mistake…

    Hi all, I’d really appreciate some advice. I’ve just put half a cup full of rubbing alcohol in my laundry draw by mistake - I thought it was my white vinegar. I’ve taken the draw out and got rid of most of it as it hadn’t gone anywhere - unlike the detergent. But am a little weary to continue...
