A liquid feeding unit has a first chamber, a second chamber, a wall portion, an opening-closing member, and a filter member. The first chamber has a first feed passage connected to it to receive liquid through the first feed passage. The second chamber receives the liquid from the first chamber, and has a second feed passage for feeding the liquid connected to it. The wall portion has a communication hole through which the first and second chambers communicate with each other. The opening-closing member is arranged in the communication hole to open and close it. The filter member is arranged in the first feed passage or in the first chamber to remove foreign matter in the liquid.
