Had visions of you stood in your IBC stopping fish with your feet then Rup :? Google came to the rescue though. ;)

Does the check valve component in a foot valve cause you any issues? I'll be using mine to supply a RFF with dirty water for solids removal (for my wicking bed) I'll then supply the main GBs via an outlet that draws water from the middle/top water column..... with the outlet of the RFF also going to a GB
