The pump vendor is suggesting a pressure tank on the output side, but until I understand what is going on, I don't want to start modifying plumbing. I also find it odd that I have a hammer on the supply side.Īny advice would be appreciated. I thought about maybe installing an arrestor, but since the hammer is on the supply side, I have no idea where to install it. The hammer appears to be on the supply side of the pressure reducer/pump (because I hear a copper bang) versus on the output side of the pump (house flow which is plastic).
