My basement washer drains into the plumbing as pictured on the right. It's 6.5 feet above the basement floor, and washer drain hose spec is: max 8 feet, recommended 5.5 feet. I inherited this setup from the prior homeowner.
- Is this ok in the first place? I haven't experienced any leakage or overflow issues yet. One practical downside though is the washer can only be in this exact spot given the length to the drainage hose.
- What are the implications of adding a utility sink with drain pump next to the washer? Would that help or hurt relative to addressing anything with #1?
