The fluid moves through the tube by being forced along by the pinch roller motion along the tube. On the AdaFruit one can even reverse the motor and it can then pump in the opposite direction. If one wanted to try to prevent a few drips from the exit tube when the pump is stopped it could be reversed for a short time before stopping the pump as a shut off valve. | |
