The Truth About Checkvalve Assemblies
Why Russell Watergardens uses Easy to Clean Spring Checkvalves instead of the common "Flapper Door" type Checkvalves.
All Checkvalves, no matter what type or brand, will eventually malfunction with just a small piece of sand, tiny pebble, tree needle, algae, leaf fragment, grass clipping, uneaten fish food, or any other item a pump can pass.
The common, but less expensive "Flapper Door Checkvalves" work fine until their eventual malfunction from a piece of debris that gets caught in their flapper door and/or flapper door hinge. The only way to clean "Flapper Door Checkvalves" is to remove them, then "snake" them with an extended pipe cleaning brush - and you can't be sure you fully cleaned it until you re-install the Checkvalve and restart your system. If the "Flapper Door Checkvalve" wasn't fully cleaned - you'll have to repeat the process as many times as necessary to sufficiently clean the flapper door.
Only Russell Watergardens' Custom CamLock and Union Spring Checkvalve Assemblies can be easily, and completely disassembled for easy, and complete cleaning! In keeping with all of Russell Watergardens products, EASE OF CLEANING & SERVICING IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT! After all - you're the one who will have to clean it, or pay someone a lot of money to do it for you. See how easy it is to dismantle and clean our Custom CamLock and Union Spring Checkvalve Assemblies in the photos below.

Easy to open Union allows easy access to the "Spring Checkvalve" Stopper for Easy Cleaning.


The Checkvalve Stopper can be easily removed for cleaning. With the pump turned on, the force of the pump pushes open the Stopper to allow water to pass. When the pump is turned off, the Spring pushes the Stopper back down to the closed position.

Easy to open Cam Lock with Stainless Steel Levers. To open the CamLock, simply pull the Stainless Steel Levers towards the Male section of the CamLock.
With the Cam Lock Stainless Steel Levers in the "Open" position, the Male and Female Cam Lock parts easily separate.
In this photo on the left, the male part on the left side of the photo would be threaded into an Outlet Port of the HydroClean™ Pond Skimmer as shown in the photo below right. The rest of the Checkvalve is attached to the pump. This allows for easy pump removal from the pond skimmer.
All HydroClean™ Pond Skimmers have your choice of 3 Female Threaded Outlet Ports. Simply choose which of the Outlet Ports you wish to use, apply a small bead of 100% Silicone Sealant (supplied with the skimmer) to the Male section of the CamLock, and thread it into the Outlet Port. Once the Male section is installed, simply attach the Female section of the CamLock to the Male section - you've just installed a pump and CVA inside a HydroClean™ Pond Skimmer! Quick. Easy. Simple.
The photos show how easy installing a Hydro Dynamax™ Pump installed inside a Piper HydroClean™ Pond Skimmer using a Custom CamLock Spring Checkvalve Assembly.
