Water Hammer Arrestor

Now, a Water Hammer Arrestor is simulating a deadleg with air trapped in it, so you might want to see if you have some more real ones on the pipework. I'm pretty sure there's a horizontal dead-leg (remnant of a water supply into the garage) and I have long suspected it's the problem but I can't get into that space to check. Seems odd that introducing a simulated dead-leg is supposed to cure the problem... Changes the resonant frequency of the system. Andy |
