- Turn supply valves off when not in use
- Consider installing a lever-type valve that is easy to operate between uses
- Do not operate the washing machine while the home is unoccupied
- Inspect the water supply line hoses every six months
- Ensure that the connection to the valve is secure, but avoid over tightening
- Hand tighten first, then tighten an additional 2/3 of a turn using pliers
- Check the hoses for cracks, kinks, or blisters, commonly found near the hose connection
- Consider reinforced braided stainless steel hoses
- Washing machine manufacturers recommend replacing hoses every five years
