There's gotta be a better way. As is I believe code, my washer drains into a slop sink via a hose with a typical metal or plastic mesh lint trap on the end. It doesn't take all that many loads (especially of towels, floor mats or flannel sheets) before the trap is full and water streams through small gaps in the filter upwards and onto the floor from many angles. Is there a better trap or hookup? | ||

If your slop sink has sloped sides (getting smaller towards the bottom) - you can make a screened frame to fit in the sink just below the washer drain. It's easy to remove, clean off and put back. | ||

If the drain is the right size, you can put one of those little plastic filter cups in it, remove and clean out once in a while. I think mine came from Pathmark. Downside is, if you don't notice it needs cleaning, you can have a tub full of water on the floor (voice of sad experience). | ||
