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?

Much appreciated if yes.

So you have a one run hose out to the garden Len? I do know the type you
mean, the standard outlet hose that comes with the machine but longer.

I basically want to rig a bodge job for a few dollars. The outlet hose is
quite a bit bigger than a standard garden hose. I don't want to pay much
money for any hosing if possible. 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. Bunnings here would charge
about $6 per metre length which runs out to around $100 bucks for something
that would do the back lawn. Too much for my liking. If you have any bright
ideas let me know. I will report back on my progress.

Thanks
Rob

Using standard garden hose is not going to work, unless the washing
machine empties into a surge tub (laundry sink?). If you try and use the
wm pump to pump it that length, you will end up burning it out.

Sounds like you are just goingto have to bite the bullet and buy stuff
unless yuou want to scavenge vacume cleaner hosing or such.
