A foot check valve is a placed in the water source below a surface pump. It allows the pump to pull water up, but does not allow the water to flow back down, thus keeping the pipe full of water, and "primed" while the pump is not running. Foot valves come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials. The most common materials are brass and plastic.
