ABSTRACT:
An anti-backflow valve for installation in a blower discharge line of a therapy tub aeration system has an air inlet, an air outlet, and an auxiliary outlet in its housing. A spring-loaded check valve member within the housing precludes fluid flow outwardly through the air inlet. Also within the housing is a combined pressure relief and float valve mechanism which opens the outlet passage in response to a pressure in the housing greater than a predetermined relief pressure or the presence of water in the housing above a predetermined level. An initial backflow of water in the discharge line closes the check valve member, the float and relief mechanism limiting the air pressure building caused by a continued backflow and permitting water to enter the housing through the air inlet when the housing is vented. After reaching the predetermined level in the housing, the entering water is discharged through the auxiliary outlet passage.
