Do if the washing machine inlet hoses are not compatible with the plumbing

installationwashing-machine

I purchased a fully automatic washing machine and little did I realize that it requires special plumbing to fit inlet hoses to water source. All I have got in my house are the taps to which it can be connected.I thought that I would be able to connect hose to tap when I operate washing machine and then remove it. But looks like this plan will not work.

I want to know if I can use inlet hose of semi-automatic washing machine (which doesn't require permanent fitting) with automatic washing machine?

The hose connector looks like:

From the installation instructions1 for Haier washing machines

Inlet Hose Connecting method

  1. Press the lower end of the lock lever and push down the slider. Take off the water inlet hose jointer from the water inlet hose component.

  2. Loosen the screw till the water faucet can be accessed. Put the jointer of the water inlet hose on the faucet. (If the faucet is too large and the jointer can not be set on the water faucet,please loosen the four screws and take out the bushing in the jointer. The front end of the faucet must be smooth, otherwise it may leak water

  3. Fasten the four screws evenly.

That's it
