When To Install – Water Hammer Arrestor & How Air Chambers Work?

A water hammer arrestor might be an effective and quick solution. A water hammer arrestor essentially creates air chambers. This space allows the pressure that’s built up to release within the air chambers instead of the water coming to a sudden stop, resulting in shocks and bangs. These nifty air pockets work wonders. When valves suddenly shut off the flow of water, the hydraulic shock needs to go somewhere. The air chamber in the water hammer arrestor provides a safe air space. It is simple to install water hammer arrestors with an air chamber, and that might just fix the pressure wave found in your systems.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have more burning questions about leaking taps, a blocked toilet or your plumbing system? Here are some plumbing solutions.

What is water hammer and how best to handle it?

Homes that have a water supply in excess of 500kpa are at greater risk of hammering than homes that do not. High pressure on your plumbing systems stress the line. Working it harder, not smarter… just harder.

Water pressure plays a major role in the longevity of your pipeline, valves and drains. If you can control the pressure, you’re reducing water hammer and all the effects it can have on your piping. Sometimes the hammering may be occurring… silently.

The increased water pressure that may flow, will have a larger shock wave when a valve is used in the house. Water valves are not indestructible. When you’re hearing a noise from your piping systems, it’s time to seek solutions and be proactive.

Our Water Hammer plumbers can test the pressure of your water supply line to determine the level of water pressure you’re dealing with and if that might be the cause of your water hammer. Having a plumbing company that understands water hammer and all the possible solutions will save you and your hearing.

One solution to dealing with it, when it’s known you have a water pressure supply that is high, is to install a pressure limiting valve to your house. This valve can be described as a pressure regulator. This reduced flow of a water supply line will be much kinder to your valves and pipes.

What causes water hammer?

Having noisy pipes is the result of a pressure build-up when there is an interruption to the flow of either water or gas within your pipe and plumbing system. When a valve is opened and shut off, this can create a shock effect.

3 main areas you may need to assess are the following,

  1. Faulty jumper valves
  2. Pipes that have become unclipped or have loose clips
  3. High water pressure
How to stop water hammer?

To stop the water hammer, Contact a Water Hammer Plumber at Network Plumbing. We can assess, investigate, and fix the plumbing problems in no time at all.

However, in the meantime, here are some plumbing tips. We’ve compiled our top 4 areas you may need to assess.

  1. Replace any faulty jumper valves
  2. Reconnect any loose clip attachments holding the water pipe
  3. Install arrestors with an air chamber where necessary
  4. Installing a pressure-limiting valve
Can pipes burst from water hammer?

Yes, pipes can burst from excessive exposure to water hammer. The force is real and will take a toll on the pipe in question. Water hammer is an indication that there is a fault in your system that needs to be attended to. If it’s a faulty jumper valve, loose connection, or a water system that delivers excessive water flow… these all need to be assessed by a professional company that has the skill set to fix the hammering and control the situation before a pipe burst occurs. Read more to learn how to fix burst pipes.

What is the banging of pipes when my water is turned on?

Do you have noisy pipes? Whether it’s hot water or cold water, if a pipe is not secure and has loose mounting clips, the pipe will move around from the pressure travelling through the system. This may be the reason you experience the water hammer effect when you turn on your system.

Is water hammer dangerous?

Yes, leaving a water hammer issue is dangerous. You may end up with a burst pipe and then water damage as a result. Water damage and health concerns go hand in hand. Don’t leave it until you’re handling an emergency. Act now. Contact our plumbing service today for a hassle-free assessment.

Why do I suddenly have water hammer?

You may have had water hammer for a while, it’s just been silent up till now. The louder the hammer becomes the quicker you need an assessment by a professional plumber. It’s an indication that your system is under even more pressure, a valve has loosened or the mounting clips have dismounted. Contact our plumbing service today and don’t put up with noisy pipes any longer.

Is water hammer bad?

Yes, it’s not good. But it is completely fixable with the correct intervention and maintenance. Fill in our contact form to discuss how Network can help solve your pipe concerns.

Will installing modern mixer taps reduce water hammer?

New taps unfortunately, are not a water hammer fix. The hammering noise is happening in the water pipe. Whether it’s an old house or a new house, that loud banging can happen at any time.

What is a water pressure regulator?

This is the same thing as a pressure limiting valve. When applied to your pipes, it ensures that there isn’t a sudden pressure surge, meaning less pressure will be on your expansion joint,s limiting the likelihood of water hammer in your home or workplace.
Like everything, your plumbing needs regular and efficient service to ensure everything is operating correctly in your home.
