    I'm sure that's what's happening with mine. So essentially they're worthless, hence the ball valves.

    Interestingly, anti-siphoning via the vent is not listed as a possible application.
    With any check valve, it would be an unconventional application. We tried it and have been using them for this. So not only do we get a more complete drain, we have addresses some passive draining.

    If you take then apart, flip the gasket 180 and they will work again, for awhile.

    MLA sent me a couple of his check valves. They are very slick, and work much better than the Wakemakers valves. The WM valves require quite a bit of pressure to close the valve and prevent backflow. MLA's do not. I'll be giving them a test next week hopefully.

    I didn't get them installed before the end of the season. They'll be on before the spring though.
