What type of check valve should I use if connecting it to garden hose?

The check valve can screw directly into the pump just make sure you bring the garden hose adapter supplied with pump with you to lowes or Home Depot so you get the right size threading and diameter check valve. then connect the garden hose onto the adapter (provided with pump) and screw onto check valve.

I used a 3/4 inch and I had trouble with it getting stopped up. I still have one using it but it is pumping clean water. The other pump is using one the same size as the discharge opening. 1 1/4 inch I think. Then I reduced it down to garden hose. This thing will move some water. I got this check valve on the same order as the pump. It has a flapper like a toilet uses. The 3/4 inch uses a very small opening. plugs easily.

basically a check valve does two things. If your exiting line from the pump runs level or slightly uphill, the check valve should keep the outflow on the exit side from coming back through the pump on shutdown. It would also prevent inflow from the outside back into the pump in a case where you have the pump dumping into an area that could collect outside water above the level of the exit. Both of these situations could be avoided by positioning the pump and the outflow line such that water would only flow away from the pump and to a lowspot that is sure to be lower than the pump outlet. Particularly if you are only using it several times per year. So have at it but keep the flow going with gravity not against it.

Myron, it must have a small dedicated return line with a check valve if you are using the model with the timer

Yes, the 99555 is a check valve that would keep the drain hose from running back wards when you shut your V pump off. I don't know if the threads will fit though, you might have to either just clamp it in to be water tight or purchase other fittings to get it the correct size. Based on my experience with this check valve (I posted it), I would not use this to keep an important location from flooding.

My Zoeller came with a check valve, make sure yours does too, you definitely need it

Use a 1/2" npt union or better yet, get the valve kit so you can flush out the unit once in a while. Make sure you put a T&P; valve on the outlet side for safety. it will be part of the valve kit if you purchase it.

A "discharge hose" and garden hose from your local hardware store. I glued on a check valve to the outlet in which I hooked up the discharge hose to.

I only use these on my hose with no quick connects...those things always give me trouble like leaks etc...I think these valves are excellent....cause the cheaper type--plastic etc...always seem to leak at the thread connection....

I sent mine back . Could not find any adaptor that would work with hoses I received. Valves did not seal well.

You'll find reducers/connectors from garden hose to 3/8 at many hardware stores. Use that reducer/connector to solve your issue...easy

It has a built in check valve, although not a very good one. Use a rubber splice when connecting to the tee, in case you ever have to replace the check valve.

I believe you can swap out your current one with this one. And, if it doesn't work length wise you can easily use a 1 1/2" fernco with a small piece of PVC 40 to make the connection. But, I think you'll be ok with this check valve.

I have the same timer in my greenhouse to run misters. I have the orbit valve (Orbit 57100 3/4-Inch Female Pipe Threaded Auto Inline Sprinkler Valve) connected to it. The timer itself comes with an AC adapter. It has worked perfectly. I believe I did purchase an adapter since I have the orbit valve connected to my outdoor hose faucet and then another on the other side for the hose that runs to the misters. Of course it's meant to be plumbed with pvc and the 3/4" fittings, but the valve is versatile, just need imagination.

It will connect to a standard hose with no problem. Don't open the hose bib very much or you will burst the soaker. The best bet is to put a shut off valve such as Gilmour 03V Brass Garden Hose Connector with Shut-Off Valve in between the hose and soaker so that you can limit the water flow.

Good question. I have a random garden hose. If that's the kind you have, go ahead and get this because it fits. I've never measured my hose coupling.

Not sure, but why don't you just get this Zoeller (Zoeller 30-0181 Check Valve, 1-1/2 Inch) check valve on Amazon?
