Aquascape Dual Union check valves and service parts
Aquascape check valves help prevent water draining backwards when a pond or waterfall pump stops, while dual-union designs allow the connected pump or plumbing section to be isolated and removed. This range includes complete valves, conversion kits, O-rings, collars and connection variants.
What this Aquascape section covers
A check valve is especially useful between a skimmer-mounted pump and an elevated BioFalls, where backflow could empty the filter into the skimmer during servicing. It is not a substitute for correct water levels or an overflow, and it must be installed in the stated flow direction.
How we would plan it
Match the valve to the pipe size and the pump/skimmer geometry. Leave enough clearance to undo both unions and remove the internal valve body. Support the pipe so the valve is not under strain, and inspect seals whenever the system is opened.
Need a compatibility check? Send us the dimensions, a simple sketch and any Aquascape part numbers you already have. We will help check the system as a whole before you order.

Why buy Aquascape from That Pond Guy?
We are an independent UK pond specialist, not a general catalogue reseller. Aquascape products are supplied to us through Landscape Plus, and our listings retain the original manufacturer part number so that systems and service parts can be checked properly. If a combination looks wrong, we would rather query it before dispatch than leave you to discover the problem during installation.

Can That Pond Guy check compatibility before I order?
Yes. Send us the existing part numbers, photographs, dimensions and a simple sketch of the proposed system. We can help identify obvious mismatches and the practical measurements still needed.
Should I follow the individual installation manual?
Yes. This category guide explains the planning principles, but the current manual for the exact product remains the authority for electrical safety, excavation, connections, sealing, commissioning and maintenance.
