The water barrel isn't tied into the washing machine's plumbing, I just turn off the cold water tap and manually fill it from the barrel with a Danner Mag Drive pump which has a hose on its output. When the water level in the washing machine reaches the right hight the solenoid mechanism makes a 'click' noise, I unplug the pump and remove the hose. We have an old top load washing machine, if it was a new front load I don't think this method would work.
