I have a problem with water hammer. I know where the knocking is coming from but the pipes are not accessible.
I could live with it if it was just knocking when we turned taps off etc. but it knocks when the neighbours are using their washing machines and taps. I have turned the water pressure right down but the knocking continues and our electric shower goes cold with the washing machine on.
I was thinking that I could put in a water hammer arrestor after the stop cock to hopefully eliminate the water hammer from the neighbours. The pipes are all copper (Not sure of size yet) and I was planning on cutting a section out and putting a plastic push fit T section in with the arrestor on top.
Is that the right way to do it? Do you think this will work to eliminate the water hammer from next door? Anything I am missing?
Thanks in advance!
