The spring is typically located around a central shaft that is attached to the closing disk. The entire assembly is securely enclosed in a machined brass housing that contains the workings of the check valve. The check valve is generally located above the submersible pump unit by a few inches. This ensures that the long column of water remains in the well pipe. This increases the efficiency of the pump by not having to refill the length of the pipe every time the system calls for water.
Check valves are found everywhere, including the home. If you have a sump pump in the basement, a check valve is probably in the discharge line of the pump. Outside the home, they are found in virtually every industry where a pump is located.astly, check valves can be compared to doors, like the door to your office or home. Typically, you open your office door at the start of the day and close it at the end, which is similar to what happens when a pump is cycled on and off.
