Reusing Water from the Washer

Years ago my washer, a Kenmore, had a "suds saver" feature, which would pump the wash or rinse water back into the washer to be reused. There was a "sud saver tub" that the water drained into and then the sud saver feature would siphon the water from the tub back into the washer out for reuse. Does anyone remember this feature?

Now I have a tub (laundry sink) the water goes into before it goes to the drain because my plumbing is old and the force of the water is too much for the drain to handle. This morning I was thinking of ways to save on water. I am wondering if a small pond pump put in the laundry tub would work to siphon the water back into the washer for reuse.

Another thought was to use a garden hose from the laundry sink to send the RINSE water outside to my flower beds.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
