FAQs

What is the purpose of using Aqua One Check Valves in my aquarium?

Aqua One Check Valves serve as a crucial safety feature for your air pump system. They prevent water from siphoning back into your air pump, which can cause damage or failure of the pump. Using these one-way check valves, your air pump remains functional and your aquarium stays well-aerated.

How do I properly install the Aqua One Check Valve in my air tube system?

To install the check valve, follow these steps:

1. Cut a 10cm piece of 4mm air tube.

2. Connect this air tube to your air pump.

3. Connect the check valve to the end of the 10cm air tube.

4. Connect the other side of the check valve to the rest of the air tube.

5. Attach your air stone to the end of the air tube.

Remember that you can place the check valve at any location on the air tube that suits your needs.

Can I use an Aqua One Check Valve with any brand of air pump?

Yes, Aqua One Check Valves are designed to work with all air pumps and systems that use 4mm air tubing. This universal compatibility ensures you can easily use these check valves to safeguard your air pump, regardless of the specific model or brand.

How often should I check or replace my Aqua One Check Valves?

While Aqua One Check Valves are built to last, it’s a good idea to periodically inspect them for signs of wear, cracking, or damage. We recommend checking your check valves every 6 months to ensure they’re in proper working condition. If you notice any issues during your inspection, replace the check valve to prevent potential damage to your air pump.

Will the check valve restrict airflow to my airstone?

Aqua One Check Valves are designed to maintain optimal airflow while preventing water from siphoning into your air pump. Normally you would not experience a significant reduction in airflow due to the check valve. Ensure the valve is installed correctly and is free from damage or debris to maintain the best possible performance.
