Hello, I have an odd issue. A high-quality, wide spread bathroom faucet suddenly started hammering/vibrating when turned on FULL. It is 15 years old, so I replaced the stem, but that did not solve the problem. Turning this faucet on low, and it is quite. This only happens on the hot side; the cold valve works fine, no noise.
I don't know if this is relevant to the problem, but the problem began after I had the house's main valve off to do some work on other parts of the house. When turning the main back on, there was a considerable amount of sediment in all faucets and toilets around the house. We have old pipes in our neighborhood and hard water (with a water softener).
Any thoughts? thanks in advance. -ag
