Hey all,
The water hammer was noticed almost immediately after washing machine was installed (Jan '15) and
we weren't really concerned about it. Fast forward 6 months and we had to repair
a leak in the supply line (buried, of course). We're now concerned if this hammer
can affect any fixtures that are connected.
I've installed hammer arrestors on both lines and that seemed to work, temporarily.
Speed Queens advice was to contact a plumber.
My question, what exactly is causing this? Is it the mixing valve itself or the logic that's controlling it? Or both? The reason I ask is that if it's the valve I'm thinking I could adapt another brand
say Maytag or LG.
Thanks
