It uses a spring-loaded piston that opens at 5 PSI for consistent, one-way water flow and closes securely when the pump stops. PTFE sealing surfaces minimize friction and wear, while CPVC construction resists heat, chlorine, salt, and UV exposure so the valve performs across heaters, salt chlorinators, and chemical feeders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this valve protect my pump and heater?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe valve blocks backflow that can force water backward through pumps and heaters, preventing pressure spikes and potential damage.
