Lint traps for washing machines
What are washing machine lint filters and how do they work?
There are two basic styles of lint traps.
One slips over the end of the washing machine discharge hose, is made of
nylon or aluminum mesh, and is held in place with a nylon strap. Unfortunately,
the holes in the mesh are too small to be effective as a lint trap. Also, the aluminum
mesh has some type of lubricant that gets all over your hands during installation.
The second type is the Aquarian
lint-filter. It is easy to install and helps to prevent
soap and lint build-up in the laundry tub. Invented by a plumber,
it was designed to allow the machine pump to work without the obstruction
caused by other lint traps—no more backpressure. The filter
eliminates odor as its solid six chambers allow lint to be separated
in order to dry.
The filter itself is made of recycled nylon hosiery
(which you supply) cut to a 15" length and held in place with two
"O" rings. An adapter is included to help fit the system to all
washing machines.
This is a trouble-free system that really works.
You will need to replace the nylon hosiery when it is one-third
filled with lint. The Aquarian will be the last lint filter you'll
install!
