I had recently fitted a pressure system (range cylinder) On a morning and evening after the heating and water boiler has heated when I turn the hot water taps on I have large banging sound for about 15 seconds, had a water hammer/arrester valve fitted but it makes no difference. higher water pressure in area - 3 bar but never had problem with old gravity system, anybody got any advice?

If you have 1/4 turn ceramic disc taps when they are closed they can sometimes send shockwaves through the pipes. The fact that it did not happen on your old system will be down to the change in pressure. Ideally you could do with locating the pipes and clipping them correctly. (Easier said than done though)
