Do you have pictures posted on your website of the outlet hose from your
washing machine on to the lawn?

I gather you run a hose out of the back of the WM onto the lawn.

Are you able to link me to photos that show your hook up from WM to lawn?

No pics.
Basically, any hose will do, but generally the larger the better. Things
to consider are the outlet height above the ground that you are watering.

In a previous setup, I used 5m of 25mm/1" clear plastic tubing from
hardware or Clark rubber.

The washing machine emptied into sink and the sink outlet was plastic
pipe, so after the S bend, I cut a section out and installed a diverter
switch. In this case, the laundry was on a slab below the level ofthe
house,so the divertor pipe just poked through a hole in the fibro wall to
run the house piers and out to the garden/lawn.

for the rebuild, I'm going to need to get a tile cutter to make the hole
through the floor tiles under the sink first.

The pblem with the clear plastic hose is that it can kink.

I plan to hook the WM outlet hose out a cat flap in the window next to it &
connect some length of hose on to that & drape it on the lawn. The WM pump
should get the water out onto the lawn ok. Problem is the WM outlet hose is
quite a bit bigger than garden hose. I don't want to pay much money for any
hosing if possible (purpose made pipe will be likely about $100). Unless I
can get my hands on 20 odd lengths of the WM outlet hose & find a simple way
of joining them I think I may be stuck with a smaller diameter hose (like
garden hose) & some mechanism to have to narrow the diameter down. If you
have any bright ideas to my dilemma please fell free to share them.

Thanks
