In-line check valve on ump discharge will NOT stop pump from short cycling.
Pump pressure switch on pump senses discharge pressure. If pump internal check valve (on pumps that have one) is leaking, discharge pressure will still drop causing pump to come on and build pressure back up to shut-off set point.
The in-line will stop city water from flowing backwards into fresh water tank and overfilling it.
In-line check valve in pump suction line stops both....back flow and pump short cycle IF internal check valve is actually leaking.
