Reliable and Durable Check Valves in Melbourne 

Even when you opt for water-wise plants, you can quickly find yourself spending a lot of money on water to ensure that you enjoy your garden all-year round. Not only can it hurt your pocket but also the environment. So, there’s a lot of incentive to invest in tools and technology that will help you to water your garden and lawn wisely. One of these tools that are essential is a check valve. While simple in design, they play a critical role in irrigation, pump, and pool installations.  

What does a check valve do?

In short, a check valve allows water only to pass through it in one direction. In other words, they prevent backflow. They have two openings: the one opening is where the water enters, and the other opening is where the water exits. When it’s used in irrigation, it serves the very important job of preventing contaminated water from entering the household water supply again. 

Which types of check valves do you get?

There are a number of different check valves available. Not only do they differ in size, but they’re also not made from the same material. Some are made from brass, while others are, for example, made from stainless steel or PVC. The most common types of check valves include:

• Ball check valves
• Swing check valves
• Duckbill check valves
• Piston check valves

Is everything in check with your irrigation?

It’s not always good to go with the flow. If you’ve invested years into your garden, you’ll want to ensure that your irrigation system is up to par to ensure that your lawn, shrubs, and trees receive adequate water. A simple and inexpensive part like a check valve has a crucial role to play. Not only can it help to protect pumps, filters, and other related equipment from damage, but it can also keep the water used for domestic purposes safe from contamination.
