Knows Just Enough about Plumbing to be Dangerous
Our washing machine has a hose that comes out the bottom back, goes over to the sink, drapes into the sink, and is then long enough that the filter on the end (like a mesh sock) is laying down in the sink and getting moldy. We're thinking of cutting it short so that the filter dangles like it did in the previous location, and drains rather than getting moldy.
I figure this is probably harmless... but I've seen some systems "tuned" in non-obvious ways, so wanted to make sure from The Experts here that this wasn't a Bad Idea.
Alternately, since the hose is rather stiff and could be difficult to cut, would it be a Bad Idea to just make some loops or squiggles in it instead, to take up the slack en route to the sink?
(If it matters, it's a Samsung front-loader, located right next to the sink, with the hose coming out the far side of the lower back.)
