A clothes washing machine is provided with a tank (2) for the recovery of liquids and a transfer conduit (3) which, by way of a first pump (4) disposed in the conduit, connects the lower portion of the tub (1) to the tank. The lower volume of the tank is connected by way of a suitable conduit (6) and a second pump (7) to a nozzle (8) that discharges into the hydraulic circuit (9) that feeds containers (10) for substances for the washing operation. The machine has one or more of the following properties. The feed pump (7) for the hydraulic distributor (9) and the feed pump (12) for the condenser (11) are replaced by a single pump (17) and by a two-way directional control valve (18) which alternatively feeds respective conduits that feed into the hydraulic distributor and into the condenser. The discharge pump (20) and the transfer pump (4) are replaced by a single pump followed by a further directional control valve (21) which alternatively feeds the transfer conduit or the discharge.
