I have a portable washing machine that I want to keep in one of our bedrooms and thus need to extend the stock drainage hose. My current solution is:
- buy the necessary length of clear plastic tubing
- wrap the existing hose with electrical tape until it barely fits inside the plastic tubing
- use a hose clamp to cinch down the tubing so that there are no leaks
Unfortunately, my solution does not prevent all leaks; a small bit of water still leaks out.
What are your suggestions?

Replace this hose with a single long hose.
Remove the hose that came with the unit and measure the size of the fitting it was attached to. Go to a good hardware or plumbing shop and buy a single length of heavy duty reinforced rubber hose and a hose clamp to fit. This is the only correct way to do it IMO.
