A valve housing (10) includes an inlet port (11) and two outlet ports (12, 13) for fluid passing through the housing. A valve element (15) accommodated in the valve housing is moveable freely between two end positions and has two surfaces (16) each adapted to close a respective outlet port in one and the other of the two end positions of the valve element. The valve element further includes members (20, 22: 21, 22: 21, 26, 47; 26, 48; 26, 50; 26, 51-54) for resetting between the positions. A double-action pump includes two spaces or rooms that have valve-controlled inlets and outlets (39, 40; 29, 30) for drive fluid and pump-transported working fluid respectively. The spaces are divided into an operating chamber (28) and a working chamber (27) by partition walls (26, 36, 37) which are pistons or diaphragms (26) and reciprocatingly move between end positions. The partition walls are interconnected by a movement transmission member (38) and working fluid is pressed out of one of the working chambers and drawn into the other. The operating chamber inlets (39) are each connected to a respective outlet port (12 or 13). The pump includes resetting member which at the end positions causes the valve element (15) to be moved over only a part of its movement path to its opposite end position.
