Inspect foot valves regularly, clean out debris, make sure the hinge mechanism moves freely, and replace worn seals and discs.

A leaking foot valve allows fluid to drain out which causes pump cavitation, loss of prime, and damage to the pump.

Yes, debris can prevent the foot valve from closing fully or restrict flow. Strainers help protect foot valves.

Check valves allow one-way flow while foot valves are a type of check valve specifically used at pump intakes.

Electrically actuated foot valves allow remote opening to prime pumps then close to hold liquid for automatic operation.
