I have two washing machine hook-ups in my house. We only have one washer and dryer. I occasionally pour water down the unused standpipe to keep the trap full. I know as time goes on, I know I'll forget to do this and it will start smelling. I don't want to permanently seal this standpipe off because I plan to eventually get a small "apartment sized" washer/dryer combo to put there.
I purchased one of those rubber plugs with a wingnut on them, but since the hookup is in one of those wall boxes, the box protrudes slightly over the opening and I cannot get the plug to seal properly.
I've thought about pouring something non-evaporative in the trap, but I'm afraid it'll hurt my Norweco Singulair septic system.
If anybody has any ideas, I'm open to suggestions. Thanks!
