I was able to get help pulling out the dryer today and changed all the hoses on the washer and dryer just to be safe.
Turned out that the rubber part of the hose was not what failed, it was actually the brass connector where it mated to the Y. I have now moved the Y to the faucet itself and installed industrial braided stainless steel hoses on everything.
As an added bonus last night, I heard a funny noise when the ejector pump kicked on, looked over and it was shooting water out the rubber boot connecting the check valve. Can't buy just the boot, had to buy a whole new check valve kit. <span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">But we can't have a sewage ejector shooting raw sewage all over the basement.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></span>
With the new hoses (2) sets to get three hoses and the new check valve spent over $100 at Lowe's last night. I will call it cheep insurance if it prevents this from happening again.
