I experience water hammer whenever I flush the toilets furthest from the main and sometimes whenever I shut off the shower furthest from the main. This is a new house, 1 year old.
Some background: Watering lawn was difficult. Sprinklers attached to outside faucet barely rotated. Next door neighbor (home built at same time, same builder & plumber) has a sprinkler system and suggested adjusting the regulator (PVR???) to increase psi. Water pressure gauge shows neighbor’s psi is 80. I set mine to 80 as well. But my neighbor does not experience water hammer and I do.
We did not have water hammer prior to adjusting PSI but did experience poor performance. We are very comfortable with and enjoy the current pressure. The lawn gets completely watered and the shower feels great. Only problem is the water hammer. What to do?!?!?
