Check valve option not working in pressure zone manager

Problem

When choosing "do not use" for "Check Valves" in the Options tab of the pressure zone manager, why are the computed pressure zones still considering check valves?

[Problem # 41085]

Solution

Most likely the check valves used are the check valve attribute of a pipe. The check valve option in the options tab refers to the check valve node, not the pipe. In order for the pressure zone calculations to ignore pipe check valves, select "Do Not Use" for the "Pipe" entry in the Options tab.

Note that you must also re-compute the pressure zones after making a change to the options.
