Uses

Backflow Prevention:

• Prevents reverse flow of water, which is critical when using pumps or chemicals (fertigation).
• Stops dirty or chemically-treated water from re-entering clean supply lines.

Pump Protection:

• Prevents water hammer and damage when pumps are turned off.
• Maintains prime in centrifugal pumps by stopping water from draining back.

Line Isolation:

• Helps segment irrigation lines, particularly in large farms or multi-zone systems.

Water Conservation:

• Minimizes water loss by ensuring water flows only in the intended direction.

Drip/Micro-Irrigation Systems:

• Ensures precise delivery of water, especially when elevation changes might cause siphoning or reverse flow.
