    Hammer arrestor causing water hammer?

    This may sound odd but I wonder if it rings any bells. On recent threads to solve a water hammer problem, I fitted a hammer arrestor on the attic feed pipe. Turns out it was not needed as it was a float valve in the tank. All seemed to be well until I turned off the water to the attic and...

    Water hammer / noise on hot water system fill

    I previously posted that I thought I was getting water hammer when the header tank in the loft was being filled. I suggested I replaced the float in the tank but the problem did not go away. A plumber suggested that I install a shock arrestor which I did to the pipe which feeds the tank...

    Loud Shuddering noise from hot tap and possibly heating

    Hi All, recently, when I turn the bath hot tap on, just slightly, a very loud shuddering, like a pneumatic drill, can be heard from the pipes/floor/tap? When I turn the tap on fully, it stops. Is this water hammer? It doesn't happen all the time, just every so often. But it is so loud and...

    Water hammer; is it the tap?

    Loud hammer noise when one particular hot tap is turned on. Clears quickly when tap is fully opened, or when a hot tap in the next room is opened. Sounds like the hammering is at or near the tap itself. Last night I was awoken by a hammer which sounded like it wasn't going to stop. I found the...
