Hooking up a Haier Washer to a Bathroom Sink and Bathtub

Shows me hooking up my Haier HLP23E Electronic 1-1/2-Cubic-Foot Touch Pulsator Top-Loading Portable Washing Machine. It is large enough to fit a decent sized load, yet small enough to fit most closets and other tight spaces. The machine has paid for itself many times over in laundry room and laundromat costs - $2.50 per load in my building!

[@rozeAC]

God Bless YOU!! If it was not for your video showing how to start the washer going by the hook up and procedure, I'd still be banging my head against the wall wondering how the bloody hell to start the water flowing! I know it sounds crazy, but I seriously could NOT understand why the heck the water was not going into the basin. Nothing was happening until I saw you start the machine, set the water levels and BAM! Out came the water! Thank you thank you! And you are the ONLY one who explains it out of all of the KZbin videos! Wow. You are an angel!

[@CanadaBedbugs]

I'm glad the video was helpful :)

[@stormyalice]

My best friend gave me both this and and the magic dryer when she bought her house. I'm so excited to eventually use it. Trying to watch and prepare myself as much as possible. This will save me $10 a week on washing and drying at my apartment laundry mat.

[@JanRevell]

Many thanks for this - I was very glad to find your video as I was trying to set up the washer today. Thanks to you, I've done a load of wash; threw the 'Downy Ball' in (with vinegar and conditioner) as fabric softener, and the first wash is done! I ended up standing in the bathroom throughout the entire process, just to monitor it and to satisfy my curiosity!

[@katylaurahenriksen8651]

Thank you so much for posting this! I'm planning to buy one of these and I really wanted to know the day to day practicalities of it. I especially appreciate the perspective of the load (the towels, etc) and the tip about the coat hanger! :)

Thank you, because of watching your video I put Washer back in bathroom. It was easier to hook up to kitchen sink. My bathroom faucet is same as yours, it leaked a lot. I ended up putting an extra washer, still leaks but a lot less. Using the hanger idea too.

[@blurrr555]

Absolutely crafty of you!!! Nice setup and video results to wash clothes at Home from your bathroom!! Solid thumbs up you receive indeed!!!

[@jonathanli7505]

Other very early toilets that used flowing water to remove the waste are found at Skara Brae in Orkney, Scotland, which was occupied from about 3100 BC until 2500 BC. Some of the houses there have a drain running directly beneath them, and some of these had a cubicle over the drain.

[@CanadaBedbugs]

I'm not sure of the exact name, but it will depending on the threading of your tap's aerator. When my adapter got lost in a move a few months ago, I went to Home Depot and explained my setup and the clerk in the plumbing aisle was able to locate me a replacement for about $8

[@lisecsheehan]

I’m stressing over this issue too. I’ve decided to try to find a Black Friday deal. When I get the washer, esp since I have no car and am easily frustrated, my plan is to remove the bathroom faucet parts and bring them to the hardware with me, with the washer connector.

[@lisecsheehan]

[@monie948]

Did you buy a different adapter to fit the faucet?

[@Jessicad654]

Does your landlord allow you to have your washer? It’s against our lease but living on the third floor and paying close to $4 to wash/dry here isn’t worth it.

[@CanadaBedbugs]

Technically no (I also moved out of there a few months ago), but in 5 years I never had an issue from either the landlord or the neighbor that I shared the bathroom wall with. A few weeks before I moved out I asked my neighbour and he said that he hadn't ever actually heard it through the wall.

[@kitomad7357]

Only 3 more days until mine gets here :) I'll be saving 40 a month. Currently it costs 2.50 total to wash and dry one load of laundry here at my apartments. And i stuff the washer because i want my moneys worth but i also know that wears the clothes out and they don't always get clean properly. Doesn't seem to be too much of a problem as long as I'm lucky and can snag the only front loading washer in the laundry room lol i bought the collapsible portable manatee clothes dryer as well. I never ever ever EVER thought I'd say this.... But i cant wait to start doing laundry this Wednesday! Lol i have probably 7 loads right now (family of 5 lol). Yeah.... Laundry builds up really fast for us

Can u control how it drains? Is there an and off button to the drain? Stop flow? Some people live in an apartment that the pipes are small and tends to overflow to their nextdoor neigbors sinks, bath tubs, kitchen sinks. Etc. Thinking of getting one for my MOM since this COVID CRISIS. however maybe risking getting kicked out of her apartment. If they found out she owned one... HMMN.. the Dilemna🤔🤔💭💭... Any tips out there?

[@CanadaBedbugs]

That's why I had it empty into my bathtub - very little chance of overflow. There is a pause button to stop the draining action and I also lived in a building with similar rules and it was never an issue. You can barely hear it once the bathroom door is closed and I loved not having to use the communal washers/dryers during the peak of Covid

Im having issues with the water coming out of the other side of the hose and not into the washer itself

[@deborahanne9793]

Do you find that your clothes come out in good condition from the Haier washer or are they stretched out of shape from being tangled? Is it hard to remove towels and sheets from the washer as are they tangled up? Thank you.

[@annwithaplan9766]

I have one (model with clear lid) and it works great. I haven't had a problem with stretching, I THINK because the barrel is small. The larger the barrel, the more space the clothes have to stretch when spinning. When removing the clothes, sheets, etc., I just shake them as I pull them out. If you have things with straps, best to put them in a mesh zippered bag.

[@CanadaBedbugs]

I also use mesh bags that I bought at the dollar store.

[@scottalot902000]

And advice on how to prevent water from spraying everywhere when removing the quick connect? It still sprays even though I’m turning off the water before removing the quick connect

[@lisecsheehan]

I saw a different video . They showed to shut the water off, turn the machine power back on and it will suck it out, then turn off and disconnect.

[@JBF-GST-Tanda]

Shut off the faucet and start the washing machine. When the filling solenoid clicks, turn off the washing machine. Now the pressure inside pipeline is released and you can safely decouple the connector.

hi, thanks for your review. Do you have to leave the water tap on the whole time it washes? Does it automatically stop the water when the job is done?

[@annwithaplan9766]

I have one. Yes, it stops the water just like a regular wash machine does. You need to leave the faucet on if you're going to walk away from it because it will need water for the rinse cycle.

[@CanadaBedbugs]

I just leave the water on the entire time. Thanks for your question - I made sure to add that bit of info in my newest video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ameygX-qpbKqi68

[@cindyjeffrey2874]

Placing the drain hose higher than the water level in the machine seems counter-intuitive. Anyone know why this is necessary? The only space I have available is on my patio. With the reduced water volume, wouldn't it be feasible to allow it to drain into garden beds which aren't otherwise used?

[@annwithaplan9766]

have to raise the "out" hose higher because the machine doesn't have a stopper to keep the water in. I'm guessing that ALL wash machines are like that, which is why the "out" hoses are hooked behind the machine at a higher level. Hope that makes sense. Yep, you can drop the hose down during the cycle when it's getting rid of the water and let it go into the garden if you have a way to do that.

[@cindyjeffrey2874]

Grannieannie F It's en enclosed patio. So, I've been told that much water could get under the foundation and cause leveling problems (sink holes?). Also I was told there is a city/county ordinance against dumping "grey" water. The solution I came up with was to have (2) tall receptacles on stools, which permits the hose to be in a higher position and when one is full, I manually switch the hose to the other. One load fills 2.5 receptacles which I then pour down the toilet. It's an arduous system, especially since I can't go to far to do other things and have to keep an eye on the cycle. But it's better than the community laundry (yuck!).

[@annwithaplan9766]

cindy jeffrey Hmm ok. I suppose if you used a natural detergent that was good for the soil then it would be ok to run it into the garden. Otherwise you're just dumping soapy water, which might not be good for the ground. Yeah, at least what you have is better than nothing anyway.

[@CanadaBedbugs]

Here is my technique: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ameygX-qpbKqi68 You could probably use a bucket to catch the water

[@prettybrowneyes9683]

Yes! Similar to a dishwasher - the machine knows when to draw water and when to stop the flow. I just turn it on and ignore it until the beeps tell me my load is complete. Super easy

[@beancube2010]

Is anybody thinking of changing your bathtub into a washing machine? I am thinking about mounting an electric motor about 15 - 20 RPM with appropriate torque pulling and rolling horizontally a long plastic basket of caged laundry load in a bathtub with water and detergent. Still not sure about how to approach the spin drying yet. Any other ideas if it is a college project?

[@lonnieclemens8028]

+Bean Cube Sounds like a good idea. I am curious as to what you might come up with.

[@drsenseihugo]

Just put a plastic tub usually used for babies and small children as the top cover, so while spinning it wont splash water around. For the drum take a big plastic bucket, make a sheet of paper with symmetric holes in a row and just use it as a template for drilling. Then make some sort of a holder for the drum and attach a pulley to the drum. Then take a drive belt of some sort, connect it to the motor and shield the motor so that it doesnt get wet. Then just get some sort of a programmer that you can set to tumble at different directions and speeds and just attach it to the motor and youve got yourself a washing machine. Also, make sure its easy to disassemble ;)

[@natemnorman]

Haha. We did this during the 2020 pandemic due to shared laundry in the building. Not fun, but oh so necessary!

[@smukase]

Matias Sebastian You're just generalizing and assuming things based on your own upbringing or your own environment, you're the one that needs to get out more and meet different people. You're insisting on staying in your little box that the government has built for you, acting like a robot programmed with society's expectations of men and women. Yes it's true that on an instincual and biological level, men and women have many differences and we need to respect them and be proud of them. But apart from that we are all capable of doing what the opposite sex can do, just as "some" men are exquisite nurturers, lovers and peacekeepers, "some" women are exquisite engineers, leaders and warriors. And that's just me simplifying things for you, the roles are much more extensive than that. But society molds us with the idea that everyone has to remain in their designated role so that production can function accordingly like a perfect little beehive, and our self-proclaimed leaders are the ones that get to harvest all the fruits of that labor and in turn provide the "illusion" of wellbeing. At least the queen of a hive is useful to its subjects, the elite criminals in our governments are a detriment to society. Anywho the problem with trying to mimick a hive is that human beings are not bees and were never meant to act like bees, rather to learn what we can from all life on this planet and incorporate it in our own lives. We don't do well in such oppressive circumstances because they inhibit spiritual and intellectual growth, which is what we're all about. We need both freedom and limits at the same time, not one or the other yet so far it looks like we're still leaning towards the latter with people like you who carry on this torch of bigotry throughout history. You are just acting like a good little slave for the powers that be. Let men and women decide for themselves which roles in life they want to take on because they all have strength and pride. It's people like you that instill shame and disappointment in others for no reason whatsoever other than bitterness and probably disappointment with your own miserable lives. I mean who are you to feel that people should answer to you, did you create humanity, are you at least a king to a great nation or something? Humble your half-witted, arrogant self sir.
