What Point Loma does
to a washer.

It treats an average of 145 million gallons a day and can handle 240 million at maximum capacity.

Treated effluent leaves through an outfall that discharges 4.5 miles from the coast.

Pure Water San Diego is meant to purify recycled water into nearly half of the city's supply by the end of 2035 and to cut treated wastewater discharges to the ocean.

All of San Diego

On the water

Salt air corrodes the metal on a washer's cabinet, its hose fittings and any exposed connectors, particularly in laundry areas open to the outside. Stainless hose ends and a quick look at the fittings each season prevent the slow drip that turns into a stain on the floor.

Older housing stock

Houses built long before automatic washers often got one wherever a drain could be found, and the standpipe, trap and supply valves may be far older than the machine. A washer that drains slowly or gurgles is sometimes reporting on the house's drain rather than on itself.

Mixed housing

Put a modern washer into a vintage laundry corner and it takes on that corner's drain, pipes and outlet, which is where much of its apparent trouble starts. No washer repair in these houses ends before the supply and drain have been tested.
