Just read another post about the washing machine creating a vacuum and pulling the water out of the trap, resulting in bag egg smells coming out from the sewer through the sink drain plugs, wonder if this is my issue and not stale water from the washing machine....on my drain trap picture there are three connectors....I use the top left one for the washing machine and the right one for the dishwasher......should one of these three have a vent connected ? the sink plugs are always left out
thanks
Ideally I would like to buy a small trap with a washing machine hose type inlet and outlet...i.e. a washing machine hose inline trap..
the problem is that the washing machine is used infrequently and the water in the waste hose becomes stale, when first used, this causes a bad smell from the sink drain plugs.....if I could install a seperate trap, then route the waste downstream of the main sink trap, this would solve the problem.
having trouble sourcing such a device.
UPDATE
wondered if I use a bottle trap with adapters to take washing machine hose ( assuming I can get them ) then route to a swept T piece after the sink trap......
