The electrolytes and heat will corrode (break down) the rubber in ANY check valve. This is also why I do not use dry cells. I don't care what anyone says EVERY dry cell leaks. Maybe not the first day or second or even the first six months. But trust me it will leak. For this reason I use nothing other than plastic and metal parts for my systems as well as solid state sensors that will break down no faster then the stainless steel plates, therefore giving a product that has very little maintenance and virtually no chance of malfunction. I have to make my units idiot proof, or you have the potential for disaster. The completely self contained unit that I make needs only two things Water and Windshield Washer Fluid. Everything else is built in and automatic for you.
So my advice is .... If you are going to build something like a check valve, just build the extra bubbler instead and then you will never have to worry about it.
I totally under stand what you are saying! You build to sell to people that may or may not know what they are doing.
But here on this forum for most parts we do know what we are doing.
And for those of us that are building these cells for ourselves, we have more freedom to build those extra gadgets.... and use what we please at our own risk, knowing there might be need for repair and upkeep.
Mother Nature educates all of us that are teachable. She's hardest on the ones who refuse to learn. Punishment is automatic, immediate, and without pity.
