Washing machine drain hose

My washing machine offloads and dumps into the utility sink next to it.

The issue i have always had is the water comes out with so much force that it tends to splash up and between all cycles it gets quite wet. I am looking for ideas or options for a difusser of water coming out of the hose so it just doesnt slam into the concrete sink and splash so much. .....or maybe a splash guard.

I heard of folks using panty hose on the end of the hose to catch lint. Maybe this would work.

THe sink doesnt drain fast enough to extend the outlet hose further into the sink. It would likely submerge and then id have other problems.

 

The lint catchers are the most common thing. You say a utility sink. Is this not a standard basement type stationary sing of this type?

They should be more than adequate to contain washing machine discharge.
You might want to make a partial sink cover with a hole on the top to accept the washer discharge. That will eliminate or block the splashing.

 

Many of my customers use panty hose over the drain hose.
It reduces splashing and catches lint.
Keep an eye on it as it does need to be cleaned/replaced often.

 

The first thin I would try is just put a heavy towel in the sink. That should stop the splash. I wouldn't worry about lint in the drain but I would worry about a lint filter getting clogged and possibly interfering with the discharge.

What size is the sink drain?

 

Heavy towel in the sink. How would that not clog the drain ?

Ok.... worried about using panty hose. Get a proper approved filter for a clothes washer.

Those lint filters both fabric and metal have worked pretty well for me. I'm not sure how much they will help the splashing, but it's worth a try.
One additional thought or suggestion: those filters tend to“fill up”, or clog from the bottom up. As they do, the water tends to shoot out through gaps in the clog. I found that taking a plastic two liter soda bottle, cutting off the bottom and the very top, then slicing it lengthwise, creates an (almost) cylindrical "sleeve" that can be used to cover the last few inches of the hose and loosely fit around the filter. As water squirts through the partly filled filter, it hits the soda bottle/cylinder , and runs into sink without causing problems.

 

Pete - Why would a towel clog the drain. My understanding is that the discharge water is splashing from impact with the sink basin. A towel located where the washer discharge is splashing, not over the drain, should solve that.

If the sink drain cannot handle the volume of the washer discharge then the OP needs to look at the trap for an obstruction or if the sink drain is to code.
