Hi Keith:
In most cases, each ejector pump discharge pipe should have its own check valve, but without knowing how the "alternate pumps" are set up and when they fire off, etc... I can't say too much on that.
To reduce the check valve hammer you could try locating the check valve(s) higher up say, a couple feet before the pipe first goes horizontal, and see if that improves things. It should.
I usually install the compression check valve... see image (white) and have never had any problems with them, although I can't remember trying to lift the sewage 30 feet, either!
Pasco also sells a check valve called the SILENCER... see image (red). I have never used one, but they say it is great at reducing the hammering/clunk associated with these pumps.
There should be a 5/32" (I think) hole drilled in each discharge pipe just above the pump and still under the cover... prevents air lock.
You can check out more info. On sewage ejector installations at
Zoeller Corporation
They have installation instructions if you find the pump.. look up the zoeller M267 model... then click on the install PDF. File.
Questions? Let me know... OK?
