My water meter is in the garage...when I turn a faucet on the little dial spins and little if no noise...when the washing machine is filling it make s knocking noise that you can hear in each bathroom etc...
I recently fastened down the copper that went from the water heater to the washing machine as when the washing machine would fill the pipe would visibly shudder........looks like the pipe from water heater is 1/2 inch and where it "T's" with the main water supply it goes down to 1/4 inch to washing machine...any idea why they would have done this?
Pipe from washer back is also on a downward slope as plumber who replaces water heater "pulled" copper pipe down to fit rather put new piece in
Does not make noise with other faucets on but does click a little louder when tub is on...I guess the bigger the output (tub washing machine) The louder the clicking?
Is this an issue?
Thanks
