Controlling a number 3 pump

So I've just bought a pump 3 with an adapter and I had not considered how to control the flow.
I thought I would put a ball valve on the pump outlet.
Is this a good way to control the flow without damaging the pump?
Is there a better way to control it?
Cheers

Hi

Exactly right, ball valve on outlet to control flow on the magnetic drive DC pumps

Inlet should not be restricted and always have good source flow into the pump

Remember to prime, I.e flood head of pump, before switching on too
