“Hi. Why is the hose that empties from the washer to the drain straight? It is really hokey that you have to use a zip tie and wrap around the water pipe. It looks bad. :(”

Hi JSwitzer - Thanks for reaching out to us and for sharing your concern regarding the drain hose design. To be confident that no siphoning of water will take place, the drain plumbing should be a minimum of 30" high and less than 8 feet high. If drain is not 30" high, we have packed with new washers, in the installation package, an anti-siphon clip that attaches to the hose and the back of the washer to lift the drain hose up higher.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The arrangement at the water drain is such so that the drain pipe does not fall out of the drain and shoot water all over.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I too used a zip tie. It holds the hose in place. That works for me.
