Softener causes water hammer or banging noises in pipes during regeneration.

Possible Causes
High inlet pressure, Rapid closing of valve ports, Lack of water hammer arrestors, Loose plumbing supports
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Be cautious when adjusting pressure regulators; excessive pressure can damage plumbing.
- Measure pressure: Use a gauge to check household water pressure. If above Hansgrohe's recommended maximum, adjust or install a pressure reducing valve.
- Secure pipes: Inspect nearby plumbing and secure loose pipes with proper clamps to reduce movement.
- Install arrestors: Consider installing water hammer arrestors near the softener or at problem fixtures.
- Regeneration timing: Schedule regeneration for nighttime when fewer fixtures are in use to minimize noticeable noise.
