Hello,
I have a water hammer issue that I haven't been able to find on this forum, or elsewhere on the internet.
*The hammer occurs on the 2nd floor near/between two bathrooms.
*The hammer is easily triggered by turning off either the hot or cold of any faucet, or any bathtub (anywhere in the house, but most notably in the second floor bathrooms).
*A plumber installed additional arrestors at the 2nd floor bathroom lines (issue back within a few on/offs of any faucet).
*I have tried the system drain / refill procedure many times (issue back within a few on/offs of any faucet).
*I have replaced the single-handle cartridges in both bathtub showers on the second floor (issue back within a few on/offs of any faucet)
*Removed flow limiters before shower heads (no effect, just did in case)
I'm at a loss. Since the issue comes back before I have run the dishwasher/laundry, it seems unlikely I'd need to work with those devices.
Possible next ideas:
*Cartridges for double handle faucets?
*Toilet?
*Shower diverter / spout?
*Cheap, 10-15 year old Pegasus shower and sink faucets, but I imagine it's expensive to replace the shower ones with the tiling, etc.
Thank you for any advice- being hot and cold, and so easily produced makes this perplexing to me.
