the pool 6 from being empty as it can be noted in fig3 it is noted that there is a liquid flow from the basket 3 to the tub 2 via lower holes located in the basket 3 by this time the basket 3 flow is equal to the recirculation flow thus the accumulation of a lower amount of liquid is allowed in the tub 2 enabling the washing machine to operate with a lower total volume of water for the washing process following the washing step the drainage step is started according to fig4 in this phase the pump 7 changes the direction of rotation so as to pump water to the drainage hose 8 for discard in an alternative mode this process can be performed by a second pump while a main pump is only used for recirculation another possibility is the use of a directing valve selectively fluidly coupling the single pump with the one input and two outputs following the drainage step which does not necessarily imply the basket being completely empty centrifugation is started as shown in fig5 in this step it is noted the total emptying of the basket 3 by the action of the centrifugal force caused by the high speed rotation of the basket 3 being complemented by the pump 7 action to discard the excess of liquid fig6 shows the machine condition when the cycle is terminated fig7 schematically illustrates a preferred mode of the washing machine provided with recirculation with controlled flow it is noted in the lower portion of the.
