Water Hammer. Not good at all😳

[@thomasgreene1276]

I replaced a water heater 3yrs ago. Noticed mineral sediment build-up on the hot water outlet. Used new copper pipes where needed and a new ball-valve shut off. Before changing, pipes throughout the house would tap with hot water running. After changing, no more tapping. Currently (Feb. '24) tapping started again. I closed water feed, removed inlet and outlet fittings at the coupling. Mineral sediment built up on both in & out. Cleared the sediment with a brass wire brush. Hooked back up, ran water. Pipe tapping has stopped. I'm a homeowner/handyman. I want to share this as I'm probably not the only one with this experience.

I was looking for an example of the sound of water hammer. I got it. Thank you!

thank you for posting! very informative showcasing the sound, helped me instantly identify the cause

in my bathroom I suddenly closed the tap and long sound came and I jumped out of bathroom - the sound was similar to the tuning fork sound

If you can't compress a liquid explain a hydrostatic test for me. But anyways good video on sound.

Water can’t be compressed. Literally just physics lol.
