- If you don't take the hose out to the sewer, you can hang it on the edge of the sink to let the water drain into it. But this is not very convenient, because it needs to be secured so that it does not come off from the strong water pressure. Also, you might forget to take the hose out of the machine and put it in the sink. Then a terrible thing will happen - you'll flood the neighbors.
