There a couple reasons you should install a washing machine filter on the discharge hose. There a tremendous amounts of solids being discharged through your washing machine. Hard water from our cities will especially help create solid chucks. Having a water softener can help but not 100% of the time. Having a lint filter will not eliminate a clogged drain but will definitely help. We always suggest having your floor drain cleaned every time one’s sewer line is cleaned. Most people don’t realize all the debris that really grows and hardens in the floor drain which makes for further expense in the future. Having a clean drain will not only prevent backing up during that unwanted time but also helps with unwanted smells.
