I am looking at different options to control the flow out of my march pump. I would like to find a way to control the flow without using more ball valves. Space on my rig will be tight and the less valves hanging around the better.
Is it possible to control the speed of the march pump with a pwm or other controller? I know it should be possible to control the speed. I guess what I am asking is will it cause priming issues or other issues if I slow down the pump?
Is there anybody doing this in their system?

I would like to thank Boerderij_Kabouter, kladue and Bkloos for helping with this topic. I have decided to use a motorized ball valve to control the pump flow remotely from my control panel. The valve is a 12v floating position valve. I will have two switches on the panel. One for open and one for closed. They will be momentary on switches. Here is a video of the new valve. It was acquired from a manufacturer in China.
