Many well pumps have built-in check valves. Even if a pump does have a built-in check valve, we recommend that a check valve be installed in the discharge line within 25 feet of the pump and below the draw down level of the water supply.Click to see full answer. Simply so, where do you put the check valve on a submersible pump?In submersible pump applications, the first check valve should be installed directly on the discharge head of the pump or maximum one pipe length (20 feet) above pump. Water pumped and flowing through a piping system has a certain amount of energy (weight x velocity).Secondly, how do I know if I have a bad check valve? Failing valves will emit warning signs at the first hint of trouble. For example, failing check valves will start to vibrate and even lose some internal parts when problems begin to arise. Other symptoms of check valve failure include reverse flow and excessive component wear and damage. Furthermore, does a deep well pump have a check valve? Check valves permit water flow only in one direction and are required on all submersible pump installations. Some submersible pumps have built-in check valves, and are suitable for operation without an external check valve, provided the pump setting is not too deep.Where should a check valve be installed?Check valve can be installed in horizontal or vertical piping runs, with the flow running upward. Mounting for vertical installations is critical.
