I lagged on upgrading the drain on my washer. but I finally did it. It's just missing one tube clamp at the end. I have to make a home depot run later today .
I used clear vinyl tubing, tube clamps, and pex fittings.
I didn't want to go the copper route like Mo. I plan on getting a 20 gal washer sometime this winter. So I did the want to spend the extra money .

Well this method sucked. it leaked. like crazy. I tried to go the reef tank route with a mix of pvc and vinyl. and that leaked no matter what I did. The silicone didn't hold very well to water. I was told not to use pvc cement with vinyl tubing even though its made of the same material. Maybe I should have waited a week for it to cure. I used liquid nails water resistant one.
Now today I'm going to buy more tubing and just have a tube I guess. . A waste of money and 3 days of my time on this drain. The placement of the drain on the bottom pf the bubble now washer makes it impossible to run straight pvc. There has to be flexible tubing for at least part of the drain. I'm not going to spend a bunch of money on copper and solder for this washer. The lid is fucked up too.
Then in September I'll buy a new washer. I'm so irritated over this right now
I was trying to have some kona hash made for chalice but it wouldn't be dry in time at this point. I should have hand washed maybe
