We are installing a washing machine in the cellar. It will be located 2ft below the waste. I wanted to know whether an external pump is required to pump it up into the waste or whether the pump in the washing machine would suffice. Thanks in advance Regards Laurence.

The drain hose should or could be extended up to a total length of 4 metres to reach that drain? 😉 Author Posts Viewing 2 posts - 1 through 2 (of 2 total) You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
