How to make a baisc water sensor that will cut off electricity

[ghurty]

How about putting the lint sensor on the exhaust hose of the washer instead? They make ones specially designed for that purpose. If that were to clog it would prevent the washer from draining instead of overflowing the sink.

Also, are you on septic? If not, just let the lint go down the sewer.

I asked her about putting a filter on the hose itself, and she said she tried it once and the results were disastrous.

As far as letting just go down the sewer, the house's plumbing in the laundry room is pre-1920, so it would clog up very easily.


Thanks
