for hosepipe you cant, you would need to upgrade the hose to 15mm house grade pipe to get them fitted.

that's what i used when i built my system, fitted non return valves to both my pumps and not had a airlock in the system. even when i empty my tank fully, drive about then refill it,

Would you mind linking to the eBay item as there are loads of different ones? Where have you fitted yours?

I bought one about 6 months ago with the intention of fitting it.
But I had forgot about it and it's still in the cupboard........... ::)roll

As close to the tank outlet as you can.

So that's between the tank and the pump?

Yes, it will prevent water from returning back to the tank when driving etc.
So the valve should be fitted close to the tank outlet and before the pump.
That's how it's supposed to work in theory, but I've yet to fit mine.
