Hey, long time no hear from you....haven't visited Renotalk for a long time.

Er, what is water hammering? You going to break down a wall or something?

Water hammering is the noise generated within a water pipe due to a sudden shutting-off of a water tap. This is caused by the air-trapped upon closure and the water pressure surging forward within the pipe. This is very prevalent in copper and stainless steel pipes because they have narrower diameters as compared with PVC pipes.

You can minimise or eliminate the noise by :-

1 ) Reducing your main inlet pressure (lower down water flow-rate)

2) Add a flexi hose or regulator between water faucet and main pipe at your basin.

Hope this helps !
