[quote=Anonymous]Folks, have a plumber install metal hoses and a simply shut-off valve that just requires moving a level for your  washing machine. I had a washing machine hose break once and it was not a pretty site. The washing machine was in an unfinished basement when the hoses broke, but the water in those hoses is under pressure and it shot out like a geyser and soaked everything I was storing in the basement. Fortunately I was at home when it happened (I was on the first floor and it sounded like a geyser had gone off in the basement) and fortunately there was a very nice guy doing some construction on the house across the street who came over and helped me shut off the water. No pan under the washing machine is going to prevent damage from a broken pressurized hose.

In my current house the washer is on the first floor (mud room). I installed metal houses and an easy shut off and I shut the water off after using the washing machine each time. All I have to do is flip a level. Regardless of what floor the machine is on, I never want to see a broken washing machine hose again. [/quote]
