SoftPro water softener makes loud banging or water hammer noises during regeneration.

Safety first: Sudden pressure surges can stress plumbing. Consider reducing pressure if above recommended limits.

• 1. Check water pressure: Use a gauge to measure static pressure. If above 80 psi, install or adjust a pressure-reducing valve to bring it within SoftPro specifications.
• 2. Secure plumbing: Inspect pipes near the softener. Add pipe clamps or supports to reduce movement when the valve shifts during regeneration.
• 3. Install hammer arrestors: Consider installing water hammer arrestors near the SoftPro unit or at problem fixtures to absorb shock.
• 4. Adjust regeneration time: Program regeneration to occur at night when water usage is minimal, reducing perceived noise.
• 5. Service valve if abnormal: If banging is accompanied by erratic valve movement or leaks, have the SoftPro valve inspected for worn pistons or seals.
