Will the draining of a clothes washing machine be enough pressure to open the valve so it would work properly?

From the way you stated your question I take it that you plan to connect the Campbell valve directly to the output of your washing machine drain hose. If that's true and from what I've read about the spring pressure requiring 1/2 pound pressure to open the valve it may work if the valve is connected close to the washing machine. I would think the further away the valve is connected you would loose pressure due to possible air in the drain line. However the valve is designed for use with a sump pump. To be certain contact Campbell Mfg or buy one and give it a go. Good luck.

I wouldn't think so because a sewage pump has a lot of power. It has to liquidize the sewage. A washing machine is just trying to get the water out of the tub. This unit is for a basement type pump where there is serious elevation of the water required. I cant see a washing machine be capable of pumping higher than a few feet anyway. (??)

I'm not a plumber :) but yes. It's your pump that opens the valve when the certain level is reached. It duesnt matter if the water comes from washer toilet or even just the sink the pump will work as normal. This valve is awesome. I couldn't stand that banging noise from the previous valve. Thus one you hear just the pump and nothing else.

That's not the type of valve you use with a washing maching. I doubt it would have enough pressure. I think it's a 2lb spring inside.

This would go between your washer and the supply. It could be done but not a job for amateurs. You would need on for hot and cold. These are best placed in the cold line that comes into the house.

I doubt it depending on the pressure that your electric washer produces. I have 3500psi available which works fine.

Not likely. This product stops water hammer that occurs when washer fill valves close.

If you run it wide open, probably so.But there is a flow valve (the gray lever) that you can control the flow rate.

I don't know if it will work in your washer. I do know the valve I received is not the valve pictured. The water inlet port is too small and must be wrapped with something like electrical tape before clamping. It seems to work okay once you figure out how to get around the inlet port being too small in diameter.

Yes, this hose will do the job. I have used it on our pressure washer that puts out 1700 psi water pressure.

I would recommend a much higher grade hose for your washing machine. This is very lightweight and may not handle hot water very well. The damage that can be caused by a washing machine drain hose failure warrants spending a little more money on a much better product designed for your specific application.

In order for this unit to operate, there is a minimum flow rate that must be met. I don't know much about washing machines but I'd be a little surprised if this requirement is met. You should call the customer service at eccotemp.com and ask them about it before purchasing to be safe. It would definitely get the water hot enough if it would work.

It works with all preassure washer at or above 4000 psi, must have quick connect fittings. I have had one that worked for a year, the new one I just got worked once. Returned refund no problem wanted to send another but I said no.

Sounds like you would need an adopter, Please try to be sure that the adopter can be used at the highest pressure possible by the pressure washer.

I would suspect it would leak, as the seals on the drain tap and valve, and on the hose connectors, are probably not designed to cope with the higher pressure.

Not a 100% sure but do not think would work with static water source. It seems to need good water pressure to work effectively. Have noticed that it works best if I open the source valve all the way

I'm not a Plumber but I can't see why not, remember the value needs to open with the pressure from the pump, the water cannot be able to travel in another direction. Let's say it's the drain pipe from upstairs you are talking about and it also goes to the sewer outside the building. The water will take the path of least resistance. Valve works great, remember you need the pressure from the pump to open the valve. It is spring loaded. Good Luck

I don't think so, this is a static system, I would think that the additional pressure would cause leaks.

No problem at all. I have front loader and my tankless supplies it very well. This model has a very low minimum flow (.25 GPM) to start the heater and the washer will fill at about 2 GPM.

Probably, If it has a 20mm threaded attachment at gun and the connection on the pressure washer itself, my experiance is that most due. Its certainly more than enough hose strength.
