A washing machine has a rotatable drum including a cylindrical wall and a base at one end on the cylindrical wall. The base includes a projecting member to space clothes in the drum from the base. At least one slot is in the base to enable passage of water into the drum. A tub includes a cylindrical wall and a base at one end of the cylindrical wall. The tub receives the rotatable drum within the cylindrical wall. The tub includes a water inlet in line with the at least one slot so that as the at least one slot is aligned with the water inlet, water is sprayed into the drum. A meshing arrangement is positioned between the drum base and the tub base to reduce a gap between the drum and tub and provide a forced passage maintaining the water at the inlet.
