Weep back feed

[APW]

Do I need to put some kind of check valve on the water holding tank to keep the weep water from backing up into the tank?

Yes, also that hose looks kind of small for a feed line.

Ideally the pump will prevent the weep from backing up into the tank, but there's always one with a weak seal or a valve that's not seating 100%. I use this valve and haven't had any trouble with them:

Kleen-Rite 944-430 | Brass Inline Check Valve | 1/2in. F x F

This resilient disc check valve is not lead free. It is not for use on potable applications.
