Cheap can be good or bad

The valve isn't perfect, but that's to be expected. The airflow between the valves is not equal, so you need to adjust it accordingly. My suction cups hold up well but the clips on them are so-so. They hold the standard flexible air hoses well, but anything thicker or with more resistance can cause problems. 1 out of 3 check valves worked very well. The other two limited airflow a bit. However, most check valves are a lottery and these 3 were much better overall than the 4 black packs I got…

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • I really have no complaints about it, everything is fine

OK but the valves are leaking

I use it with the vacuum line in the bio lab. This is not ultra-high vacuum, but standard in-house piping that is weaker than the vacuum produced by a directly connected pump. I noticed a small flow of air through the closed valves. OK for my purpose, but I have yet to close the main valve on my lab bench. After a month of use, I noticed that the black plastic plug that seals the line behind the valves was becoming cracked and brittle. Everything is fine, but the valves should close normally…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Happy! Great product, I keep ordering more!

Aquarium maintenance is a lot more fun with this reliable little tool. Adding a new sponge filter or diffuser to a globe valve while the others are already in operation sometimes requires turning other levers. only to fill the new air stone/filter with concentrated air flow. Then slowly rotate the rest so they are all aerated. It's just that I use it with a surprisingly quiet little air pump (5-15 gallons, a Walmart Aqua Culture outlet) with a gentle airflow to pump three to four planted…

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Some problems

Perform a leak test on all control values ​​before use.

I checked the tightness of all 3 check valves and found that they leak through the gasket too much until the air doesn't even reach the bottom of the tank (24 inches deep). However, the reflux was ok because the broken seal is behind the valve. Luckily I had some acrylic glue with me and was able to seal it myself and I think acrylic nail polish would probably work too. However, the fact that all 3 of the 3 check valves purchased were purchased all 3 I don't think is a cause for concern. I…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Easy to repair
