Default Flow Check Valve in Sump = Clogging Sump?

My sump motor started running forever ; it turns out that the
flow check valve I put in prevented the backwash that kept the
intake screen clear, so it was finally unable to suck in any water.

Is there a compromise flow check valve, that lets a little backwash
happen when the motor shuts down, but not much?
