Thanks for the information, I have installed a check valve just as you stated. Who'd knew it take so long to install an irrigation system, 4 days, 15- 18 hour days and still going... getting a bit tired.. Be done soon... Or I"ll be done.The pump creates increased pressure. The pressure tank stores that pressure. The check valve upstream of the pump isolates that increased pressure from the supply source. This increased pressure exists throughout the part of the system upstream of the zone valves, and that means improved zone valve reliability.

LOL. I feel your pain. I did every inch of mine, I mean all of it, by myself. 47 heads, 9 zones and about 1300 feet of trenching. Took me a little over 2 months working all day on weekends and most weekdays after work till dark.Who'd knew it take so long to install an irrigation system, 4 days, 15- 18 hour days and still going... getting a bit tired
