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.
