Default Grey water from washing machine

my mum lives in a slightly more normal house, & connects an ordinary
garden hose to the washing machine outlet


in fact, it's the larger size of garden hose, not the ordinary kind.


can people explain the process they use to pump out the washing machine in
to the garden?

I was thinking this afternoon over summer it may be a good way to keep the
lawn watered.

Our washer has a shortish hose that clips on the back and feeds in to the
drain.

What do others connect from the outlet hose to the garden and how?
Is the pressure enough to run a sprinkler off it or a soaker hose?

Thanks.
