I'm currently in the process of building a device which will shut off
the power to a washing machine in the event of a hose failing and
spewing water out all over the floor. This is an eventuality which has
always caused me considerable angst, so I finally decided to do
something about it. After all, those flimsy 'exhaust' hoses go brittle
over time and having one split 'in action' could cause a significant
amount of damage to the surrounding area in a very short time. Having
something to cut the power off instantly as soon as the water hits the
floor would be a very worthwhile addition to the utility room and
beyond.
I'm wondering about removing the washer intake valve from the washer
and hard connecting it to the supply. No hoses.
No filter either. The smallest piece of dirt can jam a valve open.
