does the pump comes with a Check valve and if not which one do you recommend? Does it have to work with a pressure tank for my shallow well sprinkler system?

- No check valve included (cannot recommend one as I just installed the pump into the existing circuit) - I don't think this is the correct pump for an irrigation system - We use if for our house water and it definitely needs to be used with a pressure tank

I installed this pump and check valve to a existing system. I replaced the check valve with a new one and it didn't come with the pump. We used her tank. She uses the water for her yard like you and the last time I talked to her she was very happy with the pump. The check valve I bought was the TC2505LF 1-1/4-Inch Check Valve. It was a little more expensive then another one but just wanted to do this once and be done.

The pump does not include a check valve. I would definitely recommend a small pressure tank for use with a sprinkler system to maintain consistent pressure.

No check valve comes with the pump and yes you need a presser tank at lest I do.

It has a check valve so that when the hose is disconnected, any water pressure in the inside line will not be released through the valve. This allows me to tee the external water source with the onboard pressure pump water line to the sink faucet in my camper. The fitting does not qualify as a backflow preventer for the water supply line since it is not equipped with an anti-siphon valve like those which should be either inherently built in to the hose bib or added on as an accessory before attaching the hose to the water source. Hope this helps.

The valve is battery operated, so I see no reason why it should not work with your lower pressure. You may have to set it for a longer water duration time to get the amount of water you want.

Mine came with 2 check valves. One for each centrifugal pump. Otherwise with only a single pump running it would be back flowing out the other pump. A third check valve in the line past these can't hurt but shouldn't be necessary...

Most of what I've read and seen have the check valve slightly above ground level. Do your install with a union so that you can remove (i.e., replace) things without having to cut pipe. Remember to drill a small (1/8" or 3/16") in the pipe between the pump and the check valve to prevent airlocks. Drill so that the 'leak' squirts downward! That said, some people argue to put the check valve immediately above the pump (below ground level). Installing just above the pump would minimize the amount of water leaking back into the sump (but we're talking less than a quart, I'd guess.). Mine is installed just above ground level.

Sewage sump pumps typically use 2" pipe and need the 2" check valve. Stormwater sump pumps extracting water from around the foundation of a home typically use 1.5" PVC pipe and need the 1.5" Campbell check valve. You can install this either by cementing the two couplings this valve comes with to your PVC pipes using PVC cement (and then screwing in the Campbell check valve to the coupling, or screwing out by hand to remove it), or by buying two rubber sleeves with screw clamps labeled at my local Ace Hardware store 'Socket to Pipe Coupling--1.5" Plastic Socket to 1.5" Plastic Pipe'. With optional rubber sleeves, you don't need to mess with PVC cement. Note, however, that standard 1.5" rubber sleeves will fit your 1.5" PVC pipe but NOT fit your 1.5" Campbell check valve (they're a little too small on the Campbell coupling end). Again you need the ones that are labeled to go between 1.5" Plastic Socket and 1.5" Plastic Pipe.

Yes, you have to turn the valve off on the end of the hose, turn on the water supply, then wait for the hose to fill up and expand to its full size, then turn the valve on, and it will deliver full pressure to the sprinkler. We used it for that purpose for most of the time we had it.

I am not sure that I follow your question. Both my regular sump pump and my Liberty (used for aux. backup) pump through check valves. I believe the idea is that the Liberty pump is not designed to hold back pressure on the exit side of the pump. In my case the water is pumped up 6 foot before it reaches the drain.

The tank does not come with a pressure switch. The water pump should have a pressure switch on it to control the cut in and cut out of the pump. The Water Worker tank works fine for my application.

If this comes with two garden hose adapters (mine only had one, but that was a long time ago) then Pete B is correct, hose is all you need for moving water. If you use 5/8 garden hose in and out you will lose some potential from the pump but that may be OK for your application. I didn't try this because I wanted to put a foot valve on mine to make priming easier. Who knows, maybe somebody sells a 5/8 foot valve.

Doesn't go directly on the pump. You will need a couple of feet of pvc pipe that inserts into the pump(plus adapter) and then the check valve goes on top of the pvc pipe. The instructions for the pump should have a diagram.

There is a check valve though just a ball with a spring holding pressure on it dont know how much pressure it would take but I don't have any pressure in my system when unhooking just the pressure in the feed hose

The pump pumps the water up, the check valve stops the water flowing back down the pipe. So yes you will need one if your pumping laundry water from the basement, where you get one from is your call. Their cheap and widely available.

I'm afraid I can't figure out what an inline check valve is. It has the tubes/lines to bring in water and take the chlorinated water back out, along with fittings to install these into the chlorinator (where you see the holes in the sides at the bottom, in the photo). The amount of chlorine is regulated by a dial. This sits independently from the various pipes and can be moved around. (The various O-rings are also included.) I can try to answer better--but I'm just a homeowner who does her own pool maintenance, not a pro!

adding the check valve will save you less than 60 seconds to fill the line based upon my experience. I continuously pump water up about 15 feet incline into a 55 gallon drum then allow the water to drain out into a fountain and waterfall. I sometimes cut the pump off and drain the line and the drum. When I turn power back on, in less than a minute the lines is full as well as the 55 gallon drum with no issues. Hope this helps.

you will probably have to buy a pressure switch for the pump, although it looks like it has one in the picture.

You have to buy a pump to send the water back to the tank. It doesn't come with one. Some do but not this one.
