It goes into the pipework at the equipment pad and lets water travel one way only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it fixes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo familiar problems. The first is a pump that keeps losing prime, which happens when water in the suction line drains back every time the system stops. The second is water draining down towards the pump and filter, which puts equipment through a dry start it was never meant to take.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe valve is directional. It has to be installed the correct way around for the flow you want to allow, so check the orientation before you glue or tighten anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two port sizes mean it can be plumbed into 2 in. or 2-1\/2 in. work depending on how the joints are made up. Match it against the pipe you actually have on the pad.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waterco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48633658802388,"sku":"WTU-56-14652","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_7bb0d52b-74b1-42e9-9716-74918dd4fcb4.jpg?v=1788808344","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/2-2-5-check-valve","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
