Reciprocating pumps are disclosed. Particularly, reciprocating pumps
including pressure chambers and fluid chambers defined by flexible
members are disclosed. The volume of the pressure chambers and fluid
chamber may be controlled using a piston driven by the flow of a control
fluid to a pressure chamber and associated piston chamber. The flow of
the control fluid may be directed to a first pressure chamber and
associated piston chamber or a second pressure chamber and associated
piston chamber. A pneumatically driven switch or an electrically driven
switch may direct the flow of control fluid. The electrically driven
switch may be controlled with a timer, a pressure sensor, or an optical
sensor. The reciprocating pump requires minimal modification to permit
the use of a pneumatic switch or electrical switch.
