Thanks Goldspoon. The toilet/cistern has a chain attached to a rubber stopper and that stopped does need to be replaces as it has lost its seal. That may fix the toilet -- but it seems to me the toilet is a symptom of bigger problem caused by the installation of the irrigation, since it was...

Thanks muggles. There is toilet that prior to the irrigation work would run for a long time after it was flushed - 30 minutes or so. But there was no noise in the pipes until after the irrigation was installed -- the noise began within a day of installation and has continued -- even after the...

Any suggestions? Help?

Until we has an irrigation system installed in September, we never had any disturbing sounds from our plumbing in the house we've lived in for 11 years. Since we put in the irrigation we get a periodic groaning sound from the pipes -- it sounds like a fog horn; loud and continuous (not pulsing)...

I'll try the adjustment. Thanks for the suggestion.

The sound from the toilets I assumed (maybe wrongly) was of water running because it was now leaking from the cistern to the bowl of the toilets, and that leaking was the result of the same pressure issue that brought on the sounds in the pipes. What do you thinK?

Since the new Pex pipe is well-supported, that would leave a variation in the flow rate. Since this only appeared after the irrigation was installed, how might that have changed the flow rates given the setup I described? Thanks again for your help.

Thanks for the suggestions. The only new pipes are plex (plastic) and they seem quite well secured. Nothing else on the system has been changed. Since the pipes weren't making noise before the irrigation, it seems to me the irrigation line has created new/different pressures and I rather fix...

Before we has a small irrigation sprinkler installed at our home a couple of weeks ago, the only time I could hear any water hammer was if I opened an upper-floor faucet full force and slammed it shut - I would hear one thump that lasted a second in the bathroom itself. Then we had an...
