So my calls to professionals mostly went unanswered and the one guy that came by had never seen a manifold before and had no suggestions that this forum didn't suggest already. So I replaced the Watts with Zurn 70XL from Home Depot and all of the noises went away. Pexsupply has offered to let me...

So increasing the pressure more didn't make any more of a difference. I charged the expansion tank to 70 psi, because that is about the average pressure now. In any case the expansion tank will stop my pressure relief value from dripping, but for the noises on turn on and off I will just call a...

The direction in the original video I posted has the union facing away from the manifold..... As in the thread with rayjoe123, I upped my pressure from 50 to about 66 psi and the chattering has gone away. I did this by turning on a faucet with low flow that was causing the issue and upping the...

I am having this issue with my new 1" pressure regulator. I read in places about fixes for water hammer, but this doesn't seem like water hammer. I also read about need a heat expansion tank, but when I turn off the cold water feed to my hot water heater the noise still comes out. This would...
