Whats the best way when setting up a top off system to keep it from back siphoning to the pump. I would like to keep the return hose under water so whats the best way to get air to return hose while its under water and not cause a geyser.

What does a check valve do? What kind of a connection is it?

its basically something that allows material (in most cases air) to pass one way but not the other....used on air pumos most often...
