I'm trying to work out whether I can and if I can, then just how to install a row of three washing machines along a wall which has no water inlet or outlet and is separated from the only water inlet and outlet in that room by a doorway, meaning that a permanent gravity feed from the bank of machines to the water outlet is impossible as it would cross the open and in use doorway at 20cm to 30cm above ground level.
The water inlet I can resolve by placing pipework at floor level and the water pressure available (3 bar) will be sufficient to feed a rise of 0.8m to each machine.
Whatever the solution is, if there is one, it must be one which is permanent, in that it does not have to be removed to gain access through the doorway.
Here is a sketch of what I am trying to explain !
I can't put the machines near the water supply as there are other fixtures in that space already.
There is a very difficult but potentially possible escape route for the water which would see it go through the wall to the top of the drawing, through a cupboard, through an airing cupboard, along a wall, take a right turn, then follow under a bath before cutting into an existing water escape.
That is a tricky installation and there isn't much height to cope with the run to the escape. I'd much rather go another route, if anyone can think of a solution.
Cheers.
