turning air pump off at night

[mikekeato]

I have been in the habit of turning my air pump off at night( it's separate from the filter) however I woke this morning to find that my check valve failed and my tank was pretty much emptied out...?..guess if ur gunna do it guys make sure ur pump is higher than the tank itself...I know I was just unlucky but it could happen....

Unlucky. Had some return but never that bad.

Sounds like a nightmare.

Without a check valve, this could potentially lead to fires as well, during power outages.
