Frequently Asked Questions
What does a check valve do in an RV water system?
A check valve allows water to flow in one direction only, preventing backflow that could contaminate your freshwater tank or cause siphoning issues. This protects your entire water system from damage and keeps your water supply clean.
Where should I install the Dometic NL Check Valve?
Check valves are typically installed on freshwater inlet lines, gray water drain lines, or between tanks and appliances. Consult your RV's plumbing diagram or Dometic documentation for the specific location recommended for your model.
How do I know if my check valve needs replacement?
Signs include water flowing backward when the pump is off, siphoning from tanks, reduced water pressure, or contaminated water in your freshwater tank. If you suspect backflow issues, replacing the check valve often resolves the problem.
