How does a washing machine pump water into it from the water pipes?
It doesn't pump the water in, where the hoses attach to the washing machine is a valve that opens and lets the water in. The pressure in the line forces the water in the same way it does when you turn on a faucet.

You can drain it directly into a drain pipe. Just make sure the the top of the drain pipe is even with the top of the washing machine. If not, the water from the washing machine will drain all of the time. There is no valve in the machine to stop the water from draining. The washing machine drains using a pump motor.

How do you increase water pressure to washing machine?
Increase water pressure? need a pump Save power to and maintenance of the pump? Run the pump only when the washing machine is in use How to do this. Use a relay to on-off the pump only when the machine runs. This is known as interlock the pump to the washing machine. This is useful for bungalows or flats that collect rain water. The rain water tank cannot be elevated too high. For a bungalow, a 900mm H rain water drum and 2.3m to the gutters means the water head is only 1.4m or 0.14 bars at floor level. Inlets to toilet cisterns being 0.5 meter above floor level, using a metallic (instead of a plastic ball) ball for the good old fashioned cistern would enable large openings to fill the cistern fast enough for the next flush. Washing machines use a lot of water, but only for short periods of up to an hour per wash in a domestic building. Interlocking a pump to the washing machine is a good idea for rain water collection systems. Have not seen writeups from pump manufaturers on this yet. :)

Where is the drain pump on a Signature washing machine?
On almost all washing machines it is attached immediately below the centre of the tub. It will be easily recognisable by the thick hose going to the back of the machine.
