Product Information

Back siphonage refers to a sudden drop in pressure that causes wastewater to move in the reverse direction, contaminating clean water.

A spirit level can be placed on the washing machine’s top, to ensure it is a level surface (use the spirit level in both directions; front to back and side to side). Claims are sourced from a survey conducted by Deep Blue Thinking on a nationally representative UK sample in November 2021. Your new washing machine will arrive with packaging and this will need to be removed before installation. If you want the assurance of 100% backflow prevention, then you need to install a backflow prevention device.One example of an ABV that you can install to prevent laundry wastewater backflow is the TS Brass B-0968-RK01. You will need to locate the hose connections under your sink and should switch off your water supply before beginning. Backpressure refers to when the wastewater pressure exceeds that of the freshwater (incoming) water supply. If the hose from your machines will not reach the current pipes, you will need to switch off your mains water.

We will also look further into how to plumb in a washing machine waste pipe, how to plumb in a washing machine under the sink and more. So, whether you choose to drink or wash with our water supply, you don’t have to fear unpleasant smells or colors. You will need to attach your washer to a source of water, for example under the sink or the caravan itself. When the pressure increases during water discharge, check valves open, and when it reduces, they close to prevent backflow.

If you are considering hiring a professional, you can relax knowing your job will be done efficiently and to a high standard. If your old hose is in excellent condition you can reuse it but it is usually a good idea to switch to a new hose.
