What is "No" in reply to?
My question was, Where are you saying the water will evaporate from?
Are you telling me that becaus it is new construction, a) there is no
waste water drain for the rest of the house, or b) that connecting the
washing machine drain pan will cause water in the trap in the existing
house drain to evaporate, or c) that the only place to connect the
washing machine drain is past the existing trap?
If (c), don't you mean that the water in the *drain pan* will
evaporate? Not the water in the trap.
Or is there a (d)?
You seem to have said (b), but I can't imagine why that would be true.
BTW, leaks from washing machines are pretty rare, but leaks from the
hoses to washing machines are quite common. If the hose starts to
spray, most of it won't get into the pan you are talking about. Have
you protected yourself from hose leaks?
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
