Check valve system for managing fluids

A system for managing the flow of water through a pipe comprising:

• a housing connected to a water line having water flowing therethrough, the housing forming an internal chamber having an inlet opening and an outlet opening wherein water flows through the housing;
• a poppet valve mounted to a shaft and disposed within the internal chamber, the poppet valve able to contact a seat in proximity to the inlet opening wherein contacting the seat seals the chamber and prevents the flow of fluid through the housing;
• a base in proximity to the outlet opening, the base having a central opening slidably receiving the shaft, an internal surface, and at least one aperture for allowing the flow of fluid therethrough;
• a spring around the shaft having a first end and a second end, the first end of the spring disposed at the poppet valve and the second end of the spring disposed at the internal surface of the base, wherein movement of the poppet valve toward the base causes a compression of the spring;
• and
• a guide at the base for holding the spring in alignment around the shaft;
• wherein the spring has a spring constant configured to cause the poppet valve to open at the seat when acted upon by a water pressure from the water sufficient to allow the water to flow therethrough and to close upon the release of the water pressure, and further wherein the spring has a spring constant configured to cause the poppet valve to repeatedly open and close on the seat in an oscillating manner when water flows therethrough.
