If the tubing is too flexible, the water won't travel down the tube. That's why the firehose did not work. The hose has to maintain its tubular shape.

I suppose you could use old vacuum hoses. Strange that the store didn't have any. I've seen tubing that big on huge spools at my hardware store here. ----- Original Message ----- From: tunecollector To: [email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2007 5:06 PM Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] gray water There is a downgrade from the height of the washer to the ground. The walkway is flat.But what kind of flexible tubing will fit the width of the outlet hose? I had gone to a couple of hardware stores but there was no tubing that size. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:[email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> ] On Behalf Of David Sexton Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2007 1:02 PM To: [email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] gray water if the walkway slants you could use pipe onto the walkway then something like a rain gutter to guide the water from there to the garden, this is assuming, of course, that it's all downhill... What about flixible tubing like your dust collecting?

I am trying to figure out a way to run the water from my washer to my garden. Thirty years ago, when I lived in the desert, I had a rigid industrial hose to do this. But when I moved to the coast, that hose stayed in the desert. A couple of years ago, I tried a firehose but because it was collapsible, the washer couldn't pump the water down the hose. As it is now, the water drains into the garage wash basin. The washer is at least 50 feet from the garden. Any suggestions?
