Dymax Aquarium Check Valve 2 Pack
The purpose of an aquarium check valve is to allow gas to flow through it in only one direction. This prevents backflow of aquarium water into equipment such as air pumps or CO2 regulators when the gas supply is interrupted.
The Dymax check valve is a two-part valve with two openings: one for gas entry and one for gas exit. This design ensures that water does not flow backward through the tubing, which could otherwise damage the equipment or cause water siphoning from the tank.
Applications
- Used with air pumps to prevent water backflow
- Used with CO2 regulators to maintain system integrity during gas supply interruptions

FAQ
Can this check valve be used with both air pumps and CO2 regulators?
Yes, the Dymax check valve is compatible with both air pumps and CO2 regulators to prevent backflow of water when gas supply stops.
Does the valve require any special installation or tools?
No special tools are required. The valve fits directly into the gas tubing and can be installed as part of the existing setup.
Will the valve affect the gas flow rate?
The valve is designed to allow smooth gas flow in one direction without restricting the flow rate under normal operating conditions.

I installed the Dymax check valves with my air pump and noticed no water siphoning when the pump stopped. It’s simple to fit and works reliably in my 100-liter tank. No issues so far.

Used this with my CO2 regulator and it stopped water from flowing back into the regulator. The valve is durable and fits well in the tubing. A small improvement would be clearer labeling on the parts.

Great product for preventing backflow. I’ve had two pumps fail before due to water siphoning, and since adding these valves, I haven’t had any issues. Works perfectly with my existing setup.
