Default What would happen if I just bypassed this garden water checkvalve?

Hmmm... the water goes lower all the time.

Otherwise, I'd have no water in my garden hoses.

It's the OPPOSITE direction that the check valve is for.

However, I can't imagine water ever climbing that high UP from the garden
hose into the water tanks on the other side of the check valve.


Sorry, when you said "the only water higher" I thought you meant there
actually was some water higher..
