I'm trying to find a solution for a water hammer in my cold pipes. I get a bang every time a cold tap is turned off quickly (washing machine included). If the tap is turned off very slowly, I don't get the hammer.
Suggestions I get being when there is nothing running at all.
Interestingly(?), the hammer disappears fully for about a day whenever a fully drain and refill the system.
I measure a pressure of 76 PSI on my garden tap.
Does installing a pressure reducing valve after the stop cock have a role here?
Edit: now reading 82 PSI
