Washer Valve Filter needs cleaned all the time...how do I fix this?

I have a top loading washing machine with a valve filter that needs cleaned every few days (one it went two week without having to be cleaned) and I'm tired of having to get the vice grips, undo the hose and clean it and then reinstall it without it leaking (which takes several times). I am tired of this process because I am a busy individual who does do the family's laundry every week. How do I stop this?Washer Valve Filter needs cleaned all the time...how do I fix this?
A quick fix is a in line filter like people use for their RV's they have hose type connections on both inlet and outlet. Then you can think about a whole house filter which is a little more effort but well worth it.Washer Valve Filter needs cleaned all the time...how do I fix this?
Take the filter out, sediment doesn't usually stain clothes, it's usually other things in the water that do that. It may void the warranty of the washer but if it is five years old like the house, that the warranty is probably up anyways. If you are worried about sediment getting into your washer, find a whole house filter and follow the directions to install it next to your pressure tank, they are usually very easy and don't require very many (if any) special tools. Hope this helps, good luck.
take the line off and let the water run , for a couple of minutes ,replace the old valve filter put back together ,now you have a plane go for it
Ive never really heard this complaint with a washer before. What kind of material is showing up in the filter? Many city water systems will pass very small sand size pebbles through the pipes but if your finding what looks to be small rusted bits of metal could indicate internal pipe failure happening if the pipes are very old.





Most often debris trapped within water lines will clog sink strainers when water is restored after cutting of the whole house supply to work on faucet washers and so on.
