What kind of washer did you get? Most machines slowly close a valve so it eliminates any chance of the pipes knocking. Your water pressure must be really high. I think I saw something at Home depot or Lowes that will stop that from happening. | ||

Look in the thread "How are your appliances connected" in the "Super" forum. Toggleswitch has installed a wonderful solution for that problem that can easily be duplicated using standard plumbing materials. | ||

~Toggleswitch has installed a wonderful solution for that problem that can easily be duplicated using standard plumbing materials. A pressure reducrer can be installed to reduce the whole house's water pressure (BOO HISS MOAN!) Or store-bought water-hammer silencers (in the form aor sealed air-chambers can be bought. If you have that Italian disease that comes to me so often (Fundz-are-lo) you can make these yourself with a 9 to 12 inch lenght of pipe (which is bigger than it sounds, trust me!) and two caps. A small expansion tank with a (rubber or plastic diaphragm within) located jsut after the hot water heater on the "hot" water line can't hurt either.
