• the hose is advantageously fixable in the sealing area.
• the inner volume of the tube can generally be designed in a simple manner so that the volume corresponding to the known liquor pumping strands is set, for example over the length or the inner diameter of the tube.
• the hose is at least partially a corrugated hose, preferably made of plastic, in particular polypropylene.
• the inner diameter of the hose is dimensioned differently or variably, in particular if it has an enlarged diameter in the connection area to the washing machine.
