condensate pump needs check valve replacement too often

The check valves are basically just ball checks. So should be able to clean any dirt out of them, if they aren't several years old.

Post brand and model number of condensate pump.
 
Those are usually pretty reliable pumps. I would make a trap betwen the humidifier and pump. make it out of 1" PVC, and look in the trap after a month, to see what kind of debris is coming out of the humidifier.
