Airline Check Valve Carded (2 Pack) – Aqua One
Protect your air pump and prevent water damage with the Airline Check Valve Carded (2 Pack) – an essential safety accessory for any aquarium using an air pump.
These non-return valves stop water from siphoning back down the airline tubing in the event of a power outage or pump failure. Without a check valve, water can travel backwards into your air pump, potentially causing damage or electrical hazards.
Simple to install and highly effective, this 2-pack ensures you have a spare on hand or can run protection on multiple airline setups.

FAQ
Can I use these check valves with all types of air pumps?
These check valves are compatible with standard air pumps that use 1/4 inch airline tubing. Ensure your pump and tubing match this size for proper fit.
Do I need to remove the existing airline to install the check valve?
No, the check valve is designed for inline installation. Simply insert it into the airline tubing between the pump and the air stone or substrate.
How do I know if the check valve is working properly?
The valve will prevent water from flowing backward when the pump stops. If water does not enter the pump during a power outage, the valve is functioning correctly.
