    Check valve is simply a non-return valve available at any LPS

    Nope pretty much all covered in your diagram. Only advice I can give... CO2 is only produced constantly when the water temperature in the 2litre bottle is warm. It would be advisable then to float the bottle in the tank water which is nicely heated.

    Really?
    I thought the yeast digesting the sugar and multiplying inside the bottle would generate some heat.
