Re: Help with removing washing machine hose

Turning off the valve every time is a good idea, because there's water pressure in there all the time. What if it broke while you (family) were traveling? It's worth rearranging the machines if you have room.

There's a high-tech alternative: a gadget that turns them on automatically when they're needed (machine is running) and keeps them off the rest of the time. I don't recall what it's called; it was featured on one of those home-improvement shows on TV. You could find out at a big hardware store.

those burst proove hoses accomplish the same thing.. it knows when there is a loss of pressure in the line, and stops the flow.

They were very closely priced to the normal rubber hoses...

if you are worried about burst hoses... spend more money on better hoses..

how are the washing machine lins different from a toilet or sink line ?
