i have also heard they can fail and i have heard they are noisy. i dont see how a siphon break can fail if it is installed properly and there are no leaks in the pipe joints?? can you elaborate?

If you don't keep them maintained and cleaned they can clog and stop working, or take to long to actually stop the syphoning of water I have a 2" check valve and the only time I hear it is when the pump stops and you can here it fall into place!
