How to Install Sump Pump Check Valve | Basement Defender

as you guys should know every sump pump needs a check valve in the storm water pit that collects the rain water around your home because we don't want this pump or this backup pump going up shooting the water and then running back down the pipe and getting back into the pit because if it were that water would be Recycling and the pump would run continuously stressing your pump out what you do once is you want your check valve at the bottom of the pipe here and then you only want one check valve per pump so we got one check valve for the primary pump here and then we got one check though for the backup pump here you do not want to add a secondary check valve at the top because that pump is going to have to work so much more stronger and waste so much power by trying to push that water up through multiple check valves which could cause a problem with your sub pump so you want to keep your check valves right at the beginning of the pump where the pipe connects that way it's a less stress pump and continues to save as much power as possible to keep pumping that water out foreign [Music]
