    Will it hurt to run a washer drain into a sump that drains into a pond
    I want to relocate my washer but the drain is going to be a problem. We have a sump pump in our basement but it drains into our pond which is about 60 feet from the house. I need to know if we can drain the washer into the sump without hurting the fish in the pond. We use detergent that is "green" with no phosphates. Thanks for your help.
