Checking. What's up with that? We (and by we, of course, I mean John) installed the check valve tonight in the 65 overflow and it a) didn't check... it let the water dribble back slowly, but STILL... isn't is supposed to stop?! and it also leaked and no matter how tight he made the hose clamp the hose connection still leaked.
He bought this at the boat store (marine 3/4" plastic check valve). Is this not the right thing or did we get a bum one? Why was the hose connection leaking if we were using 3/4" hose?!
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Last night I heard *Drip* *Drip* *Drip* onto the kitchen floor. That was the 65 leaking through the floor. *sigh*. Somehow the plug had come loose and the return pump had stopped. We have it on a UPS so that it isn't as likely to stop because of power failure and SO much water returns through the return tubes. I know I could just drill a hole in it but I really wanted to install the check valves so that I didn't have to limit the sump volume as dramatically.
TIA.
