Abstract: A stay of a liquid can be suppressed. A pump 100 includes a tube 102, having elasticity, in which a liquid as a target to be delivered flows; a tube housing 104 which covers an outside of the tube 102 and keeps a gas in an inner space V between an outer surface of the tube 102 and the tube housing 104; and an electropneumatic regulator RE configured to supply the gas into the inner space V and discharge the gas from the inner space V.

Abstract: A treatment solution supply apparatus for supplying a treatment solution to a treatment solution discharge unit that discharges the treatment solution to a treatment body, includes: a temporary storage apparatus that temporarily stores the treatment solution supplied from a treatment solution supply source that stores the treatment solution; a filter that removes a foreign substance in the treatment solution from the temporary storage apparatus; and a pump that sends the treatment solution from which the foreign substance has been removed by the filter to the treatment solution discharge unit, wherein the temporary storage apparatus has a pressure-feeding function of pressure-feeding the treatment solution stored in the temporary storage apparatus.

Abstract: A processing liquid supplying apparatus performs an ejecting step in which a processing liquid suctioned into a pump passes through a filter device and is ejected from an ejecting part without returning the processing liquid back to the pump; a returning step in which the processing liquid suctioned into the pump is returned to a processing liquid source side of a mixing section; and a replenishing step in which the processing liquid returned to the processing liquid source side is suctioned into the pump together with the processing liquid replenished from the processing liquid source. The processing liquid passes through the filter device in at least one of the returning step and the replenishing step. The amount of the processing liquid returned to the processing liquid source side in the returning step is larger than the amount of the processing liquid ejected from the ejecting part in the ejecting step.
