Should I be using check valvues on my reactor lines? If so where do I put them?

My Calcium reactor does not require checkvalves. However yours might. What brand/model do you have?

Im not familiar with his Ca reactor.
Maybe ask Harley?

I'm just interested to see if anyone uses them or not. Tang man is your reactor gravity fed or do you have a pump to feed it tank water?

My Ca reactor's circulation pump siphons water from the sump. No need for feed pump.

I have two check valves on mine. One on the Co2 feed line, between the Co2 tank and the water in the reactor and one on the Co2 recirculating loop line, which keeps the Co2 from going direct into the reactor top, which is where the recirc loop draws from.
