Comparing Washing Machine Hoses

By Aaron Stickley, About.com Guide

Most homeowners don't think about their washing machine hoses after they are first installed. Unfortunately these inconspicuous and inexpensive plumbing components flood a lot of houses. Although it is easy to select the first set of washing machine hoses you see at the store it’s a good idea to consider all of the choices. Selecting a good set of washing machine hoses is particularly important when a laundry room is located inside the house.

Regardless of which set of washing machine hoses you choose they should be replaced about every 3 to 5 years. It is also a good idea to check the hoses for damage or leaks about once a year as part of your regular plumbing maintenance.
