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. :)

How does a washing machine get water?
A washing machine gets water by using an inlet valve that opens when you start a cycle, allowing water to flow into the machine from your home's water supply. The water level is regulated by a sensor inside the machine, which stops the flow when the desired level is reached.

How does a washing machine remove water from clothes?
A washing machine removes water from clothes during the spin cycle. During this cycle, the drum of the washing machine spins rapidly, creating centrifugal force that pushes the water out of the clothes and towards the walls of the drum. The water is then drained out of the machine through a drainage pipe.
How does the washing machine heat water?
Washing machines heat water using a heating element located inside the machine. When the wash cycle calls for hot water, the heating element is activated, which warms the water to the desired temperature before it is used in the washing process.
Why does the water in the washing machine fill up when it is on low?
The water level in a washing machine is controlled by the water level sensor or pressure switch. When set on a low level, the sensor allows less water to enter the machine before reaching the desired level. This conserves water while still providing enough for the wash cycle.
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.

The function of a washing machine valve is to control the flow of water into the machine. It contributes to the overall operation by allowing water to enter the machine when needed for washing and draining water out during the rinse and spin cycles.
What is the purpose of a washing machine shutoff valve and how does it function in relation to the washing machine?
