Is it possible to make a washer machine drain slower?
new stackable seems to be draining too fast and overwhelming older plumbing, water is going everywhere.

sure, use a hose clamp or something to partially choke the washing machine discharge hose.
Honestly though, it's probably because of partial clogging that needs to be addressed anyway.

wouldn’t that ruin the washers orgasm I mean pump
Yeah washer drains clog easily over time due to clothes lint coming out through the drain.
The standard washer drain is now 2” because of this.
Also renders backflow preventers useless after a year or so because they’re so gunked up.
Also stop using fabric softener… it’s like wax and helps it build up even faster.
What can be put down the drain to break up the wax? Ditto; softener use probably gunked it up.
Perhaps using these ACTIVE washer tablets will have an effect downstream in the pipe. Pull your drain tube, like in the video, and monitor the bucket to make sure your washer isn't initially throwing more garbage into the drain. Then run a couple of empty cycles with just the tablets, with the drain tube re-installed into the drain:

A steel snake.

This gay is pouring detergent on the ground. Nice "business."
> how to tell us you aren't successful, and also a jealous person with insecurities, without saying it.
>It's OK to pollute if your a business man!
Relax pal I'm not calling the feds. But businesses that relay on polluting are fair game for criticism.
Detergent doesn't have tsp in it anymore since the 90s because ypu eco homosexuals already won, what the frick are you asking for?
>eco homosexuals
What tier of trailer park do you live in that allows washing machines to discharge to the ground?
kek. my basement washer emptied into basement sink, which dumped onto floor and into a channel that circumnavigated the house until it reached a sump pump that dumped onto the lawn.
>not my problem
More than 20 years ago, I knew of houses in the sticks where the drain lines from washing machines flushed right out into the yard like this.
I never realized until now that, that probably wasn't legal.
You've never been to a trailer park have you
Best money I ever spent was on this bad boy.
I owned a cuck pod (condo) on the first floor that clogged like clock work once a year. I shared the drain with moron renters and the laundry room. I ended up getting a 50ft drain snake for 500$ which paid for itself really quickly. Honestly my most favorite tool because roto rooting is so easy

It took some other people's comments to figure out what that anon is so deranged over, as to nitpick/rant. The accomplished serviceman is pouring the remains from a single cleaning tablet, with about 5 gallons of water or so, 'on the ground', apparently. Apparently; as I didn't notice when I watched it, as it was not important, and I'm not going back to watch the video to nitpick someone who is 10x more successful that that bozo at life.
Watch some more videos & arrive with humility: might learn something.
Everyone knows who is not an absolute Black person, that sewage needs to be treated. Then, if it's fermented and digested, first, it can be just 'dumped onto the ground'. Animals do that all the time. Natural food into a natural man, breaks down into natural things.
But, not whatever that anon eats that makes him so indoctrinated and education-free - that shit must be poison. A diet consisting mostly of seed oils and wonderbread, pharmaceutical medication and fluoridated water. The NPC boards are on Plebbit, anon.

It's 'legal' if there is no Code, in use, for drainwater. And it's safe if it's a natural detergent. Given the toxic stuff that the boomers and later generations used for 'laundry soap', en mass, because the TV god told them too, it's more necessary to pipe that away. But, the city usually does only a large-scale septic tank operation: Digesters, solids separation and removal (to a landfill). It's a dressed-up version of what a person would do at home. And they do not neutralize things like birth control / sterilization chemicals that the NPC Western female zombies take; that ends-up back in the drinking water. As if the 'water treatment facility' didn't poison the water enough, with smokestack effluent - hydrofluorosilicic acid, where the 'fluoride' comes from.
>Natural food into a natural man, breaks down into natural things.
Problem is, too much natural things in the river causes eutrophication.
Where did it say it was being dumped into a river? Just let it out to the field. Sun, wind and rain do the rest.
> touch grass
I'm a farmer.
Ok, any more moronic questions? I have raw sun to bask in, chickens to feed, chores to do.
>dumped into a river?
Where does the rain go, farmer?
jesus christ, go outside and touch grass
>clog easily over time due to clothes lint coming out through the drain.
OP should consider these: "washing machine drain lint trap"
Either fix the plumbing or replace the pump with a slower one.
I suppose depending on what motor they use to drain that model you could rotate the stator and and make the motor slower.
Get a couple socks jammed in the outlet. Always works for me!
Install a laundry sink to act as a buffer
>buffer
Correct answer. Use an office water cooler bottle. Tap the bottom at an appropriate diameter.
And this should go without saying, but often people think they're smarter than they really are:
Do NOT seal the top where the washer drain sits. If you do, you'll just force the washer to pressurize the bottle and be right back where you started.
>wat do
Do the job correctly and upgrade the drain line to a larger pipe that can handle the volume of water that the washer puts out.
I would assume you can just reduce the size of the drain pipe restricting the flow and causing it to drain slower.
Fix your sewer plumbing.
I had an apartment with one of those and they just used hose into a larger pipe with a funnel. Probably just do whatever the anon above said with the 5 gal water jug and use that as a buffer
>washer machine drain slower?
I had this problem in the 1970s. I built a small box with a water sensor taped to the side of the drain hose but still inside the drain pipe.
When the sensor detected the water level was rising above the end of the drain hose, it tripped a relay in the box that shut off the washing machine.
Once the drain was clear of water and a time delay had passed the circuit reset the relay turning the machine back on until it sensed water and stopped again.
box plugged into the outlet, washer plugged into the box
Wouldn't work now with the way new washers work because of electronic timers instead of electro-mechanical times.
I did eventually fix my drain problem - I sold the house.
You could probably just shove the relay on the pump's wire and have it disconnect on overflow condition. I am not aware of a model that monitors the current to the pump.
Washer’s in top floor rental unit so I can’t redo the plumbing in the walls/floors
Basin sounds like a good idea an I’ll look into lint traps. Tenant is a dumb newly divorced boomer who is clueless about laundry because his wife did everything.
Also guys be careful out there, Russia and china are doing psyops to undermine western civilization.
Usa and Europe needs to stick together. Make sure to stay grounded and stop arguing about trannies and nogs. They want us divided. Stop buying Chinese goods.
>Russia and china are doing psyops to undermine western civilization
Always have.
your pipes are clogged dingus.
If you're drain piping isn't working fast enough you can either find and fix the issue(could be snaking the drain or replacing parts of the system if not the whole system).
Only workaround I see is a secondary tank to hold the washer run off and limit it's flow into the drain. You don't want to restrict flow out of the washer because the dirty water will just stay in the washer with your clean clothes and you'd have to spin them out several times to get them ready for the drier, assuming your washer doesn't die before that. Take like a 6 gallon water jug, cut the bottom off, turn it upside down, cut a slit in the lid, work a gutter or hose to the drain, put cheese cloth across the top to keep the slit from getting clogged. Unsanitary and high maintenance but a stop gap til you get your pipes figured out.
Hey Op.
I'm a Chief on an older ship with the same problem. Same washer units even.
We have six units tied into a common grey water line and if you start the machine cycles at the same time we get back ups all the time.
The only solution I was able to come up with was to get some 3/4" washer drain hoses and ditch the 1" factory ones.
This solved my problem most of the time.
We have another unit in a wash room for greasy boiler suits and the drain is just zip tied into a laundry sink which is janky but there was no adequate plumbing.
Good luck OP !
Submit for a NAVFAC contract to maintain the laundry room. Retire and get hired on the same contract you proposed that was accepted and funded. Make $$$$ while claiming retirement pay and VA.
Snake the drain dude. It’s like 30$ for a 25ft snake. Don’t over analyze it
