A laundry machine and a washing process allow the storage of water from prior washes, in order to minimize the consumption of water destined for laundry washing. According to an embodiment, the laundry machine includes an impeller (); a wash tub (); a mechanical and/or electric drive element of the impeller and of the tub; and at least a tank () encircling the wash tub. There is additionally a reservoir () in fluid communication () with the tank and disposed below the tank and the wash tub and encircling, at least partially, the mechanical and/or electric drive element of the impeller and the tub.

A floating basket and clutch are applied to a top loading washing machine. More particularly, the basket floating () and clutch () are applied to top loading washing machines (M), equipped with a motor (M) and a drive system which includes a drive shaft (E), a pulley (P), a belt (Cr) and a sealing device (V), assembled between the shaft (E) and the base of the tub (T). More precisely, the clutch () is responsible for commanding the operation of the oscillating movement of the agitator or impeller (AG), during the washing operation (OPL) and operating the high-speed spinning of the agitator (AG) and basket (), when operating in centrifugation operation (OPC). The floating basket () is coupled and fixed to the tube () of the upper sector (S) of the clutch () and the tub (T) is fixed to the female lower crown () of the lower sector (S) of the clutch (). The floating basket () has vertical displacement (x) in relation to the tub (T), along the drive shaft (E) according to presence or absence of water (A) in the tub (T) of the washing machine (ML). The upper sector (S) of the clutch () is made up of a male upper crown () and fixed in the stationary end (E) of the drive shaft (E) and an female upper crown () is fixed to the tube () with screws (P2). The lower sector (S) of the clutch () comprises the male lower crown (), fixed to the tube () with screws (P) and the female lower crown () fixed and stationary in the tub (T) by screws (P).

A washing machine provided with recirculation with controlled flow. It further presents a method to control the level of the washing liquid, associated to the said machine, providing economy of resources such as water and cleaning products, guaranteeing an effective washing of clothes and similar articles, still associated with a decreases foam formation and lower nose emissions during the process, thus improving the operation of the equipment. The washing machine is provided with a washing tub (), a basket (), a two-way pump (), level sensor (), pool (), recirculation hose (), drainage hose () and control circuit.
