You might be able to put a loop in the line….essentially making a “P” trap (loop has to stand up)….OMG. I have everything lined up, thinking that's the problem.
Can't believe I didn't see it. Double doh.
Thanks.
I can't get in there and change it now so I'll see how this is but FOR SURE there's a bit of replumbing for the next grow.
Those are probably the ½" and ¼". This valve would have to fit a ¾" yellow hose.

But that doesn't matter now.
@Frankthetank kindly pointed out the obvious and that valve is not needed.
I've never found a check valve that fits with irrigation tubing. But keeping the pump below the drippers stops the syphoning since gravity will stop the flow. This is exactly why my rez sits on the floor instead of the shelf I built for itCould use some inputs stoners
The pump I got for drainage does not stop backflow. So at any time the irrigation is off the grow bucket has half the res water in it.
Just try finding a ¾" barbed check valve! And if I did algae might gum it up.
So my solution was to run an airline to the bottom of the grow bucket and attach an air stone. (Of course theres one in the res too)
This way the roots will be fine. I hope.
What do you think?
Someone should ask that person how they made a gif from the vhs of that movie! Thats not 1080p thats more like 13.5p!
