I am going to have to install a check valve on my return line.
My sump is probably not going to be large enough to hold the water from the main tank that will siphon off, into the sump, in the event of a power outage.
My question is, which type/style of check valve is the most reliable? From my initial search/reading, there are 3 basic types... spring, swing and magnetic.
Any comments on realiability of each style?
Do they have to be installed vertically, or can they be installed off verticle, at 45 degree angle or does it matter?
I will be using 1" PVC with a Mag 18 or Mag 24 pump, will the normal flow rate of one of these pumps be reduced by adding a check valve?
Thanks for any info you can offer.
