Not the most exciting pic but this is the atmospheric vacuum breaker I had to install on the discharge side of my pump to prevent my storage tanks from siphoning out. It was either this or a 1 1/2" master valve and I figured this was the most fail safe method.
FYI, for this to work properly you install it 6" higher than the highest level of your storage tanks. It can leak a little on start up so I had to run it on the outside of the "pump house" to keep any spillage away from the electrical.
