Re: Stacked washer/dryer takes 4 sq feet...worth it?

So -- what are you suggesting? No gray water overboard?

There's nothing inherently different about washing machine discharge, than discharge from washing clothes in a bucket, or from washing...

Recycle back into the sea, of course, with the rest of the gray water. :D

Same as we do on land. Nothing in the waste treatment process on land does anything significant to washing machine waste....

Re: Stacked washer/dryer takes 4 sq feet...worth it?

Re: Stacked washer/dryer takes 4 sq feet...worth it?

Re: Stacked washer/dryer takes 4 sq feet...worth it?
