Had the plumber put in a new faucet over the weekend. Gives a slight kick
or thumping noise when I turn on the water. Doesn't happen if I turn on the water again right after I turn it off. Not sure what the problem might be. Some ideas I came up with a faucet's design, the installation, or the hose that leads from the pipes is too narrow. Could water be backing down after we turn off the water creating a vacuum break or some sort. Not sure what it could be. Anyone know what might be the cause and how it might be repaired? I know I could ask the plumber. Just would like to have some background on what the problem might be before calling him. Other info, we have half inch pipes throughout the house. The hose looks like it's 3/8" (or less?). Seems narrow that's for sure. The faucet is an American Standard. Here is a link to what it looks like. http://cgi.ebay.ca/American-Standard...ayphotohosting |
