I have this fill valve in 3 different toilets in our house.... they are all about 6 months old. (http://www.siamp.com/index.php?option=com_hotproperty&task=view&id=61&Itemid=42)
Suddenly I started to get a water hammer type noise when the valve shuts off after filling up. All 3 toilets started about the same time.
I took the Float Valve washer off and gave it a bit of a clean - sure enough this stopped the noise.... I did this on the other two toilets and that solved the problem on all of them - great!
However, about a month later it started again. Doing the same thing - take washer off, clean and refit, solves it for another month or so....
Is very annoying though... anyone have any thoughts as to what or why this would happen??
Should I just get a better fill valve and if so what's the best one to go for?
