Don't be afraid of this lawn watering system valve

There was some doubt about this valve as it is not a commonly used valve for lawn water pumps. . However, since my other valve seemed to stop working and the pump shut off, I went with this clean valve and am glad I did. After much scratching my head I settled on a 1/2 pound spring which seems to work great. No more loss of performance. The best way for me to observe the water flow is when the pump is running and of course I'm drinking beer. The valve is well made and durable. Only time will…

Pros
  • EPDM gasket for water and oil seal
Cons
  • Doubt

Rust after a month.

I bought this "see through" check valve because I wanted to see how it would work to prevent water from my pool backing up into my filter .

Pros
  • 1/2 lb spring tension to securely close the valve
Cons
  • Hole in the package

I have found a reduced flow spring

Use this with a 2500 GPH pump and found about a 40% flow reduction due to the fact that the Spring just shut up. partially open.

Eventually I grabbed the spring with needle nose pliers and twisted it hoping it would flex to release the tension, but the metal snapped at the neck leaving the spring still trapped in the hub. Then I got out some dental tools and a screwdriver and was finally able to pry the tab…

Pros
  • Schedule 40 PVC construction for strength and resistance to corrosion and chemicals
Cons
  • I will write later
