To provide a pump capable of discharging gas bubbles and thus maintaining a discharging ability, even when the gas bubbles stay inside a pump chamber, a pump includes a primary pump chamber whose volume can be varied by driving a diaphragm, an inlet passage to allow a working fluid to flow into the primary pump chamber, an outlet passage to allow the working fluid to flow out of the primary pump chamber, and check valves to open and close at least the inlet passage. A resultant inertance value of the inlet passage is set to be smaller than a resultant inertance value of the outlet passage. A bubble discharging device to discharge gas bubbles remained in the primary pump chamber is further provided. As a result, it is possible to provide a pump capable of discharging gas bubbles with the bubble discharging device and thus maintain a discharging ability, even when the gas bubbles stay in the primary pump chamber.
