As far as check valves go I have never had one fail. If you drill holes at the end of the return pipe just below the surface just hope no algae grows on them or a snail happens to be on it when the power goes out
I have my exit just below the water surface and I have a George Fisher Wye check valve that can be disassembled and cleaned with a ball valve on both sides so it can be removed from the system and cleaned....maintenance is the key to a working check valve
here's a pic how its set up
