    Best plan is to hold the hose during a discharge cycle and move it around to see what position it needs to be in to stop the splashing. It may need to be higher, against the side, closer to the drain. Once you find out what works, you will be able to make the necessary changes.

    If there is no position that works, you will need to plumb it in.

Washing Machine Discharge Hose Length [ 1 Answers ]

I would like to move my washing machine from its current position, directly in front of our utility tubs. The new location will require a discharge hose close to 15' long. (The washer inlet hoses will be about as long, too.) Is there any problem with this? Where can I get this length of...
