  • Made of crystal clear glass.
  • Easy to installation.
  • Attractive design.
  • Comes with 2 x suction clips
 

Description

Without a check valve in place, when the flow of CO2 is turned off (e.g. overnight when it's not needed) water can siphon down the tubing from your aquarium and enter your solenoid, causing it to flood, which may damage it, or require maintenance to dry out the water.  This simple item eliminates that possibility by not allowing air or water to flow in the opposite direction to which it is installed.

Instructions

  • Because the item is made from glass it is inherently delicate, and extra care needs to be taken when attaching the tubing. It is highly recommended that the tubing is first warmed in freshly boiled water to soften the tip when pushing onto the diffuser inlet.
  • This unit uses gravity to operate, it must therefore be aligned in an upright/vertical position - as shown in the picture.
  • Looking at the valve, you will notice that one end is slightly more tapered (narrower) than the other. It may also have a faint line running about around the tapered section - this is the inlet and should be at the bottom. To verify; while holding the valve in a vertical position, you should not be able to blow down the outlet. If you can, you've got it the wrong way around.
  • Push CO2 tubing onto corresponding inlet/outlet as far as you can.
  • Tip: Softening the tubing in freshly boiled water will make it easier to push the tubing onto the valve.

    These check valves are very well made and I purchased 3 of them. One was for my Co2 system and the other two for my airline system and although good for Co2 they are not so good for airline use as they oscillate and make quite a noisy rattling sound hence my 3 star marking.

    It is the case that the check valves should only be used for CO2 purpose and not air pumps. As your review states, if they are used for the intended purpose then they work very well.
