Possible Causes
High inlet pressure, Rapid closing of Aquabion valve ports, Lack of water hammer arrestors, Loose plumbing supports
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Be cautious of sudden pipe movement when water hammer occurs.
- Check pressure: Measure house pressure with a gauge. If above Aquabion recommendations, adjust the pressure reducing valve or consult a plumber.
- Secure piping: Ensure pipes near the Aquabion softener are properly clipped and supported to reduce movement.
- Install hammer arrestors: Consider installing water hammer arrestors near the softener or at problem fixtures.
- Regeneration timing: Schedule regeneration for times of low water use to minimize audible effects.
Warning: Persistent water hammer can damage plumbing joints and appliances; address promptly.
