Hi,
Am building a new laundry room in California.
I really want to protect against overflows, so in addition to auto shut off valves for the washer supplies I am including a floor drain.
I've read about trap primers and their use, and I also sense that folks don't like them. Those that feed from potable water waste that water, and that's a real problem in Calif right now.
Can't a washer and floor drain share the same trap so that using the washer will keep the trap full? Can such a drain be plumbed so that the washer pump out will not spill out the floor drain?
Thanks,
Steve
