Thanks for the advice on putting it in the pond guys and for all the other help. More questions, of course:

I've checked around for both check valves and pressure relief valves but have no idea what I need. I see everything from brass check valves to little plastic ones and pressure relief valves that pop off or are adjustable.

A quick search of "check valve" on HomeDepot.com brought up some valves but I don't have a clue what I need. I also found a brass one w/ a cracking pressure of .3PSI and I quote "Type 304 stainless steel spring, and your choice of Buna-N or Viton seats". Is this what I should be looking for?
