does that ball have to stay in there? i use it to pump out the water that drains from my table that i have plants on so when the plants begin to have run off sometimes soil will collect in the outlet of the table that goes into the condensate pump and it keeps clogging. what do you recommend i do?
If you have to remove the CV10 check valve to clean it, why not just replace the dirty check valve with a new one. Same work required. Replacements are about $7.00 on line. I keep two extras on hand to replace them when the get clogged up. Trying to clean a dirty check valve is no guarantee it will work like new again. A new check valve will give you a TEN SECOND drain time for the tank. Any drain time over 20 seconds is too long and means the check valve needs cleaned or replaced. Also, dirty check valves can make funny noises to. A cleaned or new check valve will make the funny noise go away. The factory told me to never use bleach to clean out your tank components. Bleach will destroy the pump and motor components. Good luck!
check valve broke, maybe a thread and a half from top. I can screw it in without rubber gasket, with gasket can't get one thread to catch. is there an adapter for broken check valve. was thinking on super glue. Thank You
The VCMX End cap is removeable too. Use a pair of pliers and work the bottom off the check valve assembly- the endcap is shaped like the cork cap on a whiskey bottle- a little patience- it will come off.
You just saved me a ton of money! Thanks 😊
Outstanding. My pump was not emptying . It ran alot. Thanks for sharing., Bravo.
Glad it helped! Give yourself an "attaboy" for the effort!
I was ready to replace the pump then found your video. Thanks for the tip!
No problem 👍

Thanks!!!!
You bet!
Too bad they changed the check valve on the VCMX-20ULST so it's a solid molded piece now

I got the end off, but no ball inside, just a screen ?@@stevemarkee2836
