Yes you can: many outlying rural properties in Australia not connected to reticulated water have been using such a such a system for many years. It requires: -A washing machine that operates on LOW pressure (most are high-pressure designed for reticulated systems). Ensure you read its manual/instructions carefully: machines differ.

-a tank on a stand or hill sufficiently high for gravity feeding (aim for 20 feet at least: the greater the height the greater the pressure.)

-a tank of sufficient capacity (eg tank of 1000 gallons/4500 litres ) depending on the usage.

-A pump to get it up there in the first place.

How do you Hook up a washing machine?

You follow the instructions that came with the machine. You connect up the cold and hot water feed pipes as instructed and then plug it into the mains. If it a new machine you may also have to remove the packing stabilisers first.


If water does not flow fast enough to fill your gravity feed to the washing machine will increasing the out pipe to three quarters fix the problem?

Increasing the size of the outflow pipe will only help in cases where the outflow pipe is restricting flow. In this case, there does not appear to be any restriction resulting from the size of the outflow pipe. So your answer is: No. Suggestions are: 1) increase the inflow pressure by using a steeper grade angle 2) try using pressurized water storage tank in lieu of gravity feed 3) try increasing the size of the inflow pipe if there are any restrictions to flow on the incoming pipe
