Some laundry tubs do hookup to Plumbing supplies, and hand wash-only clothing can be washed this way. However, laundry tubs can also be used if there is no access to running water, by using whatever source of water is available. If water is not clean, some will choose to boil it before using it to wash clothing, and this will also allow you to wash clothing in hot water if needed.

How do you conserve water in washing machines?

You can run your discharge pipe from the washer into a laundry tub with the drain put in. After the wash cycle, the water will discharge from the washer into the laundry tub. Keep the water in there and replace the washer discharge pipe back into the usual drain. Let the washer run it's normal cycle. Take the clothes out and put them in the dryer or on the clothes line. The next step is the tricky part. You have to get a pump of some sort to put the discharged soapy water from the laundry tub back into the washer. This water will still be okay to wash the next set of clothes. I would wash the whites first, though. lol
