Before I start, I'll put some words for search purposes: at3k 3k blown broken

OK.

How I fixed mine was I took the glue off the pump just to be sure, and put a downstream check valve I took off a water gun. They should be really easy to find, and I'll post a picture of it right away. It looks like it's gonna work once I goop it up, because the only place it was leaking underwater was at the joints to be gooped.

The brownish plastic thing is the actual check valve and the clear stuff to the right of it is 1/4" vinyl and the clear stuff to the left of it is vinyl that was already on the water gun that the check valve came from.

Well I finally got around to gooping this a couple days ago, and to my dismay, it did not work. I did some debugging and found that my secondary check valve was not engaging, because the vinyl was pushed too far in. I gooped that connection again, and today I tested it out. It worked perfectly. It was as good if not better in range.
