washing machine - a true helper of any modern housewife.Without it is impossible to imagine any one apartment!Well, this situation is quite clear, as laundry, which a few years ago took sometimes all weekend, now robs women are not more than a few minutes of time: you need only to load the dirty laundry in the machine, and then pull out and hang him.
But sometimes a situation arises when the drain hose to the washing machine just does not get to the right place.Very often such a situation encountered when moving when the configuration of the bathroom in the new location does not match that of the old apartment.
it possible to lengthen the drain?
Of course, in this situation, the very first thought arises that the drain hose was a good idea to somehow increase ... Is this OK?
Yes, the producers themselves in the applications say that, if necessary, you can increase the length of the drain.True, they were strictly warned that the length of the nozzle must not exceed 100% of the length of the "native" hose.As a rule, the total amount of turns something around three meters.
Some exceptions
There are situations where the drain hose to the washing machine, even a three-meter length does not reach the toilet, sink or shower.We have to build it to the limits.What is allowed "breaks"?
Masters say that the washing machines of the brand Zanussi pump has enough power to ensure that no particular problems to pump dirty water at a distance of eight meters.In general, most common in our market brands easily cope with a length of 4.5 meters.So that the connection of the drain hose washing machine can be performed without any fear.
Notes
Note that the extension to get involved without too much need for it is not worth it.If your car breaks down, and the master who comes on call, see the extension cable, you will probably be denied a warranty repair.
In addition, if you are very extended drain hose for washing machine and sink when it makes some strange grunting sounds strained and simply, you have to shorten the drain.However, not everything is so bad sometimes lack the power of the pump due to the fact that the tool diameter is too small.
In addition, the interval is lengthened in any case there should be no excesses, because of which the load on the bilge pump is increasing dramatically.
How to do it?
talk about some of the nuances of the process, it would be absurd not to talk about how this is done.First of all, you need a hose extension, the diameter of which must be fully consistent with that of the attached to the machine.
new drain hose to the washing machine is connected with the old one using a special adapter.For the reliability of its tightening collars.All this can be purchased in stores for household appliances or pick crop water pipe of suitable diameter and clamps to buy the garage.
Note that the extender drain hose washing machine should not go up to a height of over one meter, because otherwise the pressure on the pump may be too large.
