I think I need to clarify the advice I gave above - I've not been clear - I'm a bit concerned about the little vacuum that is now being produced than I am about the missing check valve.

Because I'm super cautious I would remove the pump and check it out. But as I said above it is making "extra work" that perhaps is not necessary. I understand completely that what I would do isn't necessarily what others might. I tried to give fair warning - looking back perhaps I wasn't clear enough.
