I am not sure if this is proper forum but any help greatly appreciated - Quick version
We are on a well - sprinkler system is the first plumbed outlet after pressure tank then on to water treatment system (chlorination). Problem I am having is that the sprinkler system when on is siphoning from the water treatment system. Basically watering the yard with heavily treated water. I installed a spring type double check valve as well as a pressure gauge for monitoring and regardless my efforts it still continues to siphon through the check valve especially on high volume stations. All fittings are brass 1" NPT.
I was looking at perhaps back flow preventers (guessing) - but there are many styles and do not wish to purchase wrong valve
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated
