Product description
Atlantic-Oase Check Valves are designed for pond pumps, skimmers, pump vaults and water feature plumbing systems where dependable backflow prevention and convenient pump servicing are important. Available in TR215CV and AWGCV30 configurations, these valves help prevent water from draining backward when the pump is shut off.
Maintaining water in the filtration system is especially important for biological filters because it helps keep filter media and beneficial bacteria hydrated during pump shutdowns. Both check valve designs also simplify pump removal for maintenance and seasonal winterizing.
Pond Check Valves for Pumps, Skimmers and Water Features
The TR215CV Triton Check Valve is designed specifically for water feature installations and includes adapters for multiple pump, skimmer, vault and plumbing configurations. Its union connections allow the valve and pump assembly to be removed more easily when servicing the system.
The AWGCV30 is built for vertical pump installations where side clearance is limited. Its asymmetrical valve body, 3-inch connections and rubber coupling make it well suited for larger pond plumbing systems, while the full-flow flap design helps reduce restriction and maintain strong pump flow.
Choosing the right model
Choose TR215CV for most 1.5-inch and 2-inch Atlantic pond pump and skimmer installations. Choose AWGCV30 for 3-inch plumbing, larger pumps and installations requiring a high-flow valve with minimal lateral clearance.

FAQ
Why is a check valve used in a pond skimmer system?
A check valve prevents water from flowing backward when the pump stops. This helps maintain water in biological filtration and keeps filter media and beneficial bacteria hydrated.
What is the difference between the TR215CV and AWGCV30 check valves?
The TR215CV is designed for 1.5-inch and 2-inch pond plumbing and works with a wide range of Atlantic pumps, skimmers, vaults and plumbing layouts. The AWGCV30 is a 3-inch check valve assembly designed for vertical pumps and higher-flow systems with limited lateral clearance.
Can Atlantic-Oase check valves be removed for winterizing?
Yes. Both designs are made to simplify pump and valve removal for servicing, maintenance and seasonal winterizing.
Can these check valve assemblies be extended?
Yes. The TR215CV discharge pipe can be extended with 2-inch Schedule 40 PVC when required, while the AWGCV30 can be extended using 3-inch Schedule 40 pipe and fittings.
