<p>With a view to saving water consumed in a washing machine (10), the water used during the last two rinsing operations is recovered in a recovery tank (20) so that it may be used during the next washing cycle for the purpose of carrying out the prewash and washing operations and the first rinsing operation. The water is transported to the tank (20) by a filling pipe (22) fitted with a pump (30). The water recovered in the tank (20) is used by opening, in a given order, solenoid valves (32, 34, 36) placed in extraction pipes (24, 26, 28) entering the tank (20) at given locations.</p> |
