Q: What are the full dimensions of this check valve, with and without the rubber unions? What is the outside diameter of the two connection points? by BN from California on April 14, 2015
A: Thank you for your interest in Sump Pumps Direct. The Camis check valve dimensions that you requested are:
Total Length including Rubber Unions: 11-1/4" Total Length without Rubber Unions: 6-1/2" Diameter with Rubber Unions: 2-1/8" Diameter without Rubber Unions: 1-7/8" by Jim, Product Expert
Q: Reading through one of the previous Q&As, you wrote that the check valve is generally installed about 1/2 - 2/3 up the vertical section of the discharge line (assuming 5'-10' vertical section). Why so high? I've seen a few installations where the check valve is right near the base of the line. Don't know which way is better. by Bruce from Kentucky on March 17, 2015
A: Thank you for your interest in Sump Pumps Direct. While either installation is feasible and will work, my suggestion will reduce stress on the pump when starting due the the extra weight of the water sitting on top of that check valve when it's located at the pump discharge port. In addition, it makes for an easier access point for any servicing that may be needed on your system. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: can this be installed vertically and horizontally? Thanks by Ralph S from Ohio on March 17, 2015
A: Thank you for your interest in Sump Pumps Direct. The Camis check valves can only be installed in a vertical position. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: I have a 11/4 flexible discharge line from sump to drain only about 10 feet long do I still need a check valve? by Bobby from Virginia on January 24, 2013
A: The purpose of the check valve is to keep any water that's inside that discharge or drain line, from returning to the sump basin once the pump shuts off. Typically, you will have a PVC discharge pipe connected to your sump pump that will extend vertically, usually anywhere from 5'-10' and then attach a 90 degree elbow to extend the run to your back yard or municipal drainage system. The check valve is generally installed on that vertical section about 1/2 - 2/3 up from the pump. It would really be your decision weather you think you may need one in your personal application but they can help avoid rapid or continuous cycling of the pump. by Jim, Product Expert
Q: what does the check valve do for a sump pump and do I need one if Im buying a sump pump? by Van from California on December 20, 2012
A: You definitely want to install a check valve along with your sump pump. The check valve will keep most of the water left in your discharge pipe from returning and emptying back into your sump basin once your pump shuts off, thereby preventing any rapid re-cycling or continuous cycling of your pump. by Jim, Product Expert

The Quitest Check Valve Ever
This is the second I've purchased for a reason, no clunking when the pump shuts off. This is a replacement for one I purchased about two years ago on a pump that runs quite a bit. It's right below my bed so when it went bad it woke me up, not anymore. Keep up the quality products and you'll have my business unless I move to the dessert.
Pros:Quiet, I'd Buy It Again, Price, High Quality
Cons:Shipping was a little expensive.

Very Poor Quality
Well it worked for the first 3 days then it stopped sealing and leaked back to the pump. I have been pumping steady for a week. We have bad flooding in my area and I did not need this now. It will be over a week before I can replace it. It was somewhat silent when it worked but I would never buy one again. And I hope this does not damage my pump.
Pros:Light Weight
Cons:Low Quality, Unreliable, Bad Instructions

Jeffrey,
The most likely cause of this valve not sealing is debris present in the check valve/discharge line. I'd suggest removing the check valve and cleaning it out. When you remove the check valve, you should be able to see what is preventing the check valve from sealing.
I have bought the cheap ones from big box retail and they failed within a year. I own 2 of these now, on primary and secondary lines. No more water hammer. You won't regret this purchase.
Pros:Quiet, Easy To Use, High Quality, Durable
Cons:None

Clear Silent Check Valve Is Awesome!
My husband & I purchased an 8 yr. old home the end of October 2016. We knew there were 2 sump pumps in the basement, one at the front of the house & one towards the back. We never heard a peep out of them until after our 1st snow storm Dec/Jan ? & everything began to melt. It was every 45 seconds sometimes less, we would hear a loud clunk sequentially. It even kept my husband awake some nights. Eventually they slowed up until April/May showers . Once again the constant loud clunking. This is when my husband began researching & found your valves. They are utterly amazing! We hear absolutely nothing at all. I helped him install them, it was easy. We would highly recommend these valves, we know longer regret purchasing our home.

No More Hammering!
I replaced a very loud, annoying flapper check valve with the Camis and it is essentially silent. Easy to install, made in the USA, what's not to like.

Love It!!
This was worth every penny! So tired of the clunk of old check valve. My sump pump goes off a lot. So quiet now! Thanks for the recommendation! Haven't had long enough to know quality. I am sure it will last a long time.

"Was disappointed when my Zoeller sump pump broke after 1 year and found out it was under warranty.....but needed to ship it back. Ummm cast iron is heavy and would cost a fortune. Waited another year and luckily was in the area that their warehouse was and returned it. Salesman was super helpful and recommended the quiet check valve, which was worth all the other hassles. Also was told about another Zoeller pump the next time I need one. Thanks!"
Very quiet as advertised. Was easy to install (1/2 hr.) and is so silent, I don't even know that I have a sump pump. This product is great and worth every penny.

So Quiet It's Like Not Having A Sump Pump!
The check valve that I replaced worked but sounded like someone bouncing a basket ball in the basement every time the sump pump would run (it drove me nuts). The Camis silent check valve is just that "silent" the pump runs and stops then nothing not a sound. You can't hear the sump pump run unless your standing right over it.
