diy overflow airline valve
- Thread starter amc67
- Start date
I know I am bumping an old thread, but I have a question about how this works.
I bought the check valve kallmond linked to. My question is how to install it. When I suck on the valve, I can only get air movement on one end. So I assume this is going to be the open end, to which the air line gets attached. My question is, how do you prevent water from getting through. It seems to me that there is nothing stopping the flow. Should the airline be closed off somehow? What about running the airline tubing back into the tank?

I don't think there is usually enough pressure
to push water through the valve
but running a line to the tank is a great idea

If you do it that way, you don`t even need the check valve.
