Cons

It works, but you need to be more durable

The previous one was 2.5 years old. The fittings are longer than before. I had to reuse the old rubber fitting. They are very quiet, I'm surprised not many vendors make them.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Functionality

Unit not working as described

Unit not working I am a licensed master plumber and we have pumping units that are making us buzzing noises, saw this on Amazon and wanted to try it. We even tried elsewhere and it didn't work there either. So the final product does not work as described.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Speed of operation

Klunkless or almost

I have been using one of these check valves on our drain pump for three years. It works very well and is almost silent (makes a click when closed). Since our sump is often wet and the pump works a lot, I have to replace the check valve once a year after the inner seal has become stiff and leaking. I'm willing to replace it once a year because I like it quiet. :)

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Negative present
