Nope - the pump is activated by a switch in the faucet handle (at least in
late model Westies).  If you pull the screw out of the top and remove the
"handle" you will notice that there are elecrical contacts that will close
when turned in the one direction, but not the other.

Speaking of ShurFlo stuff, there is a great replacement unit for the (in my
opinion) unusable-when-wet westy faucet.  It is about $30 and available from
Camping World.  It requires a large washer to mount into the large hole left
by the original unit, but it allows you to regulate the flow AND use it
while you have soapy/wet hands.  (Again, credit to Mark Drillock for this
discovery)
