    I had to get mine from BulkReefSupply. Their orders usually come next day for stuff that is in stock. (And ship UPS)

    I've got a 3/4" George Fisher Wye Check valve from BRS. Never been used.

    If that spring is stainless, it wont rust anyhow.. Afterall Checkvalves are made for water..

    stainless will corrode in saltwater.
    I'd just use one that's ment for a reef & b done with it
    Got mine at marine depot. there's a rubber flapper that stops the back flowing water.
    been going strong for 7 years.

    I would recommend looking at flexpvc.com at the ball check valves, nothing metallic, no flapped to get blocked, and that natural slime coat makes the valve work better. Only runs about $5
