A pump apparatus is provided which comprises a plurality of displacement
pumps each connected to a check valve apparatus. The displacement pumps
each comprises a reciprocating piston within a housing having an interior
wall spaced apart from the piston. The check valve apparatus comprises
two check valves that control fluid flow under pressure exerted by the
reciprocating piston from a fluid reservoir to a point of use of the
fluid. Pistons of the displacement pumps are driven by a common motor.
