Remember this just feeds the tanks I put up on the hill. There is no pressure switch on it, so the valves are not really doing much other than making it easier to service the well without making a mess from all the water in the pipe.
I doubt there will be much if any hammer, but we'll see. I haven't turned it on after gluing it together yet. I had to leave for work very early this a.m. With the two unions it is a pretty simple operation to change that whole configuration. FWIW there was zero hammer previously and you could barely tell the well pump was turning on and off, even going back 7 years to when I bought the place.
That is very much granite dust. We also got a fair amount of iron / rust / scale out and you can clearly see the difference in the materials. My well guy is 2nd generation and has been doing this for 40 years.
I'll ask about the sulfur eliminator. He recommends doing the acid flush every couple of years which I will be doing. He said the previous owner did that and had good results.
