Product QuestionsAnswered by Jim, the Sump Pump Expert
How long is the warranty on this check valve?

Answer
Unfortunately, check valves are normally only warrantied for either 90 days or 1 year depending on the valve and manufacturer. That said, these should easily last a good 5-7 years, minimum, as long as the right check valve is used in the right application and installed properly.

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.

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.

what does the check valve do for a sump pump and do I need one if Im buying a sump pump?

Answer
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.
