Swing Check Valve
Check valves are mechanical valves that permit water to flow in only one direction, preventing process flow from reversing. They are classified as one-way directional valves. Fluid flow in the desired direction opens the valve, while backflow forces the valve closed.
These install near your skimmer or filter, so if the pump is turned off, it will not back-siphon and dry up.
Check valves will vary from photo. We use 4 different manufacturers. Some will be clear, some white, some black and some gray.
Also used to help with priming an external pump. Used on the intake to keep water in the pipe.
These are all Swing. Do not use Spring check valves in ponds. The pressure drop will be too great. Also the spring will clog with debris often.

Solvent Ball Valve
Ball valves are quarter-turn, straight through flow valves that have a round closure element with matching rounded seats that permit uniform sealing stress. Ball valves are used in situations where tight shut-off is required. The type of seat can vary with the valve pressure rating and materials of construction. This may ...
Threaded Ball Valve
In general, ball valves offer many advantages when contrasted with other valve types. They provide superior ease of operation and can maintain and regulate high volume, high pressure and high temperature flow. Most ball valves offer rugged construction providing for a long service life, and a comparably low cost. Additio ...
