    Water Hammer coming through auto feed valve?

    Hi cattledog The hot water tank loop and the heating tank loop do tie in together at the return. I don't see a check valve anywhere in the hot water tank loop.

    Water Hammer coming through auto feed valve?

    Water Hammer coming through auto feed valve?

    The only other thing I can think of is it happens weather we use domestic hot or cold water. Could the water pressure be going into the feed device and continuing on to the check valve? the noise occurs even if I shut the ball valve to the auto feeder. It doesn't occur when I shut the Return...

    Water Hammer coming through auto feed valve?

    Thanks krow. I did suspect an expansion issue...this morning I quickly shut of the supply valve (above the pump pictured) while the furnace was heating the house and I got the same bang...Any ideas or should I call someone in to evaluate?

    Water Hammer coming through auto feed valve?

    Thanks in advance for the help...I've checked posts for this one but it seems unique because it involves both domestic water as well as my heating water. I'll attach a photo of the system. When water is shut off anywhere in the house a loud banging is heard with what sounds like an echo. It...
