Hey guys, I am installing reversible pumps on my 1100 v-drive bags tomorrow. They are replacing aerator pumps with separate drain pumps.

What I need to know is in regards to the vent line when using reversible pumps, is it more beneficial for draining to have a check valve in line with the vent line or not?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, the check valve will help to fully drain the bags.

Yes, i installed check valves on all my vents when i did the upgrade and then used a shop vac to suck every last bit of air out.
