Without one, if your air pump loses power, water can siphon back through the airline tubing and into the pump, causing water damage or flooding. A check valve prevents this by allowing air to flow in one direction only, from the pump to the tank, while blocking any reverse flow of water.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_13sb5_107\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is particularly important if your air pump sits below the waterline of your tank, where the risk of backflow is highest. Even if your pump sits above the waterline, a check valve is inexpensive insurance against the unexpected, and something we recommend to every customer running an air pump.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_13sb5_107\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eone-way non-return check valves\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e from \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePet Worx\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, an Australian company established in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1980\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, are simple to install.
