After joining this forum less than 24 hours ago I have had my eyes opened to the use of a CVS. While I pursue that avenue I also have a question. I have a Wellmate tank that I use in my greenhouse. This tank is not to supply anything but misting of plants which is done automatically and uses about 6 gallons per day. There is a brass check valve between the tank and the piping from my well where I have a separate bladder tank that feeds this and the rest of the property. The valve has hinged brass flapper and is mounted in the verticle position such that gravity aids in closing the flapper. This tank gives me a "cushion" if I loose the pump in the well (which being in Florida has happened twice in 2 years due to lightning). It allows the plants to be misted while I correct the cause of any interruption. I seem to be getting some leakage back through this valve. Can someone suggest a better valve or way to do this?
