    Pipes bang with water filter turned on (not run-of-the-mill)

    Well, internet, it took 3 years but my pipes have finally stopped banging. On the advice of this thread, I put in the GXWH35F (which as far as I can tell is identical to the old xx40, except without the built-in valvery), and the noise has gone away. I see a little black rubber thing that...
