Thanks for all the replys everyone.
Now this is think is the answer. I've been researching this. By check valve, do you mean a non return valve or an anti syphon valve? I've ordered an anti syphon valve. I couldn't see how the non return valve would work as it still goes the same way. Please tell me if I'm wrong. And if I do need one, could you please tell me what order to put the devices in my line from pump. I can't seem to find much online. Thanks for your help!
The same thing as Dr Who suggested. Have I got it wrong then with the anti syphon? Should I use both? I have found the plastic ones you've suggested and I've actually ordered a different pump now as well, a 2700lh one compared to the mj1000 so hopefully more power to combat the tube rise.
Yeah anti siphon valve! That's the one......On the farm I call them all check valves and that's not correct technically.Where would I install the non return valve? Before or after anti syphon? Do I need both?
Check valve is so the liquid does not back flow though the pump and it then looses prime.
Anti siphon will stop your problem, kind of an opposite.
A "check" valve will not work as an anti siphon in some applications. Due to the pressure that it requires to open it...
No need to get or use each!
