AD Check Valve – Prevents Water Backflow, Protects Air Pump!

Description:

  • A check valve is a one-way valve that allows air to flow in only one direction—typically from the air pump to the aquarium. It prevents backflow of water when the air pump is turned off or if there’s a power outage.
    Prevents Water Damage: When the air pump stops running, water in the aquarium can siphon back through the airline tubing into the pump. This can damage the air pump and potentially cause electrical hazards.
    Protects Air Pump Longevity: Avoiding backflow helps prolong the lifespan of the air pump by keeping it dry and free from water exposure.
    Maintains Setup Integrity: It ensures the air system continues working reliably without needing constant monitoring.
    Made of durable plastic, small and compact, easy to install.
    Compatible with standard aquarium air pipe.
  • How to Install a Check Valve:
    Choose the Right Location: Place the check valve in the airline tubing between the air pump and the aquarium, preferably closer to the air pump.
    Direction Matters: Align the valve correctly by following the arrow on the valve that indicates the direction of airflow (towards the tank).
    Secure Connections: Push the tubing firmly onto both ends of the valve to create a snug fit.
