One-way ticket for your airflow
Don’t let water sneak where it doesn’t belong - the Check Valve by Aqua One is your grow room’s insurance policy against backflow dramas. Whether you're running air pumps for hydro or a cheeky aquarium setup, this tiny but mighty valve stops water from siphoning back into your gear. Set it up and sleep easy.
🔹 Key Features
🔁 One-way check valve - blocks back-siphoning when pumps sit below waterline
💨 Designed for 4mm airline hose - tight, secure fit with zero fuss
🧩 Compatible with any Aqua One AirPump or standard 4mm air system
🌊 Works across all setups - coldwater, tropical, saltwater… or your hydro bucket
📦 Comes in a handy 2-pack - one for now, one for backup
🛠️ How to Use It
-
Cut your 4mm airline tubing where you want protection.
-
Insert the check valve - make sure the flow direction is correct (arrow side goes away from the pump).
-
Use between air pump and water source, especially if your pump is below the water level.
-
Pair it with Aqua One AirPumps and accessories for full airflow control across multiple devices.
🌟 Grow Guys Tips
-
Always chuck a check valve on if your air pump’s near floor level - one slip-up and your pump could flood.
-
Test airflow direction before final placement - saves you grief later.
-
These are dirt cheap, so don’t skimp. Get a few and stash the extras.

Works a treat in hydro reservoirs, DWC buckets, or anywhere you’ve got bubbler stones and air lines.
