I got a new washer for a few months now (http://www.sears.com/kenmore-4.3-cu...p-02641383000P?prdNo=5&blockNo=5&blockType=G5).
I've been have water hammer issues when the washer stops the flow of water to the machine. I've tried getting a new arrestor, thinking the issue was because of a very old arrestor, even tried doubling up, one at the washer valve and the other at the wall, but it doesn't seem to be stopping the noise, though it is less loud. Anyone have any advice on how to fix the issue?
I had a potentially silly thought while writing this, but could it be that I have the valve turn too high (currently fully open), and just need to tighten it and reduce the flow of water? Does reducing flow reduce pressure?
Thanks
