The quality and safety of our products are our top priority at tinyWASH. For this reason, we have deliberately decided not to install waste water pumps in our washing machines and washer-dryers. This decision is not only a technical one, but also a strategic one to minimize the risk of damage and ensure the longevity of our devices.
The challenge of sewage pumps: frost damage and leaks
Waste water pumps are common in many conventional washing machines, dishwashers and other household appliances. They are used to pump the used water out of the machine and drain it away. However, this solution has an often overlooked weak point: after pumping out, there is always residual water left in the pump. This can lead to significant problems in winter, especially in mobile applications such as mobile homes, camper vans or boats, if they are not permanently heated or stored in a frost-proof place.
When temperatures drop and the remaining water in the pump freezes, this can lead to frost damage. The pump or its seals can be damaged, causing uncontrolled leakage the next time the machine is started up. In such a case, waste water can enter the vehicle interior unhindered, which is not only unpleasant, but also leads to consequential damage that can be expensive to repair. This potential frost damage makes waste water pumps a source of danger in many situations - especially for devices that are used in changing environments and temperatures.
Prevention by avoiding sewage pumps
In order to exclude such risks from the outset, tinyWASH relies on a simple but effective solution: the conscious omission of integrated wastewater pumps.
This concept is not only safer, but also requires less maintenance. By eliminating pumps, there are fewer moving parts to wear out and no pump components to be damaged by frozen water. This significantly reduces the risk of leaks or costly repairs.
Improving quality and safety
Not only does eliminating wastewater pumps bring benefits in terms of safety, but it also improves the overall quality of our machines. Without the weak points of a pump, our devices offer increased longevity. We also reduce maintenance requirements while offering a solution that is ideal for mobile applications.
Especially in camping or motorhome areas, it is crucial that devices function reliably, even in extreme temperatures.
Conclusion
By dispensing with waste water pumps in our washing machines and washer-dryers, tinyWASH has a clear goal: to maximize safety and quality. The potential risks associated with pump technology, especially in the event of frost, are thus eliminated from the outset.
