Air check valve
does it really matter where the check valve is located from the pump to the tank? Is higher better

Just close to the pump. I have mine about a foot away and then the tubing going up about 3 feet to a gang valve.

the closer the check valve is to where the tube enters the tank the better.If the water starts to siphon for any reason it will not siphon past the valve.Trust me a siphon can start just by turning off power to the pump!!
