Quick Tip To Avoid A Laundry Room Flood!

What happens here

To secure the drain hose, take a simple white plastic zip tie. Loop the zip tie around both the washing machine's corrugated drain hose and one of the adjacent braided stainless steel water supply lines. Guide the pointed end of the zip tie through its head to form a loop, and then pull it firmly taut until it securely fastens the drain hose to the water line. Ensure the connection is tight enough to prevent movement but not so tight that it pinches or damages either hose.

Goal: Secure the drain hose to a water line to prevent dislodgement.
