A new washing machine needs its water and drain connections done right. Here is what Indio homeowners should know.
The connections
The machine needs hot and cold supply lines and a drain that can handle the pump's output. All three must be in good shape before the new machine goes in.
The hoses
Use new braided stainless supply hoses, not the old rubber ones. Replace the washers and tighten the connections snugly, not over-tight.
The drain
The drain hose goes a few inches into the standpipe and must stay secured. A hose that pops out floods the room fast.
Level and test
A level machine runs quieter and lasts longer. Run a short cycle and check every connection for drips.
Install it right
A small mistake here means a big leak later. Call 888-217-3585 and Indio Home Plumbing Co will match you with an Indio pro for the hookup.
