does this unit cause water hammer

I have been using two of these unit for two years and have not noticed problem.I personally feel the shut off is not fast enough to cause that effect.

no not in my set up, there is a valve that closes like its motor driven, not like an electronic gate valve, so my answer would be no, I use it to water my outside plants in the summer with two cycle's per day it works great...Rocky

Suggest using this unit instead. Washing Machine Water Surge Shock Absorber (660-T) to quiet Banging and shaking of pipes and hoses, when machine turns water on and off. Your trouble could be caused by some restriction in the fill hoses. Check for pinching, and look inside the (external shutoff) end of the hose for a possible blocked cone shaped screen filter. If you replace that screen, be sure that it has a Real Soft Rubber Washer on it ... Avoid Hard Plastic washers.Also be sure that your external shutoff valves are not worn and loose inside.. Last resort is to have a service tech check the valves that are internal to the machine itself. Suggest using this unit instead.

To be clear, the faucet isnt noisy. You are hearing the reverse osmosis unit or the drain gargling . IF it is the drain gargling it is usually because there is a bend in the line causing a back up then when enough water gets in line it forces it through. My RO unit is a kinetico and is very silent.

Not sure because I did not have this problem with mine. However, you may take off the filter part at the faucet head to see if there is debris blocking the running of the water and making the whirring sound. Usually new faucet needs to be cleaned to get rid of those debris before installation. Good lick!

The Unit is Not electrical at all. It does not make any sounds aside from the usual ones made when in use. You will definitely hear noise if it does create a leak though.

The only noise I get is. The check value hammers when my electric sump stops. I know I can eleliminate that by by getting a di

When I have been in our basement near our water heater, I have never heard the Grundfos pump unit make any noise. The part installed under the sink does not hum or make any type of noise whatsoever. We have had this unit for over a year, and we love it!

No...it is a mecahnical timer...and you dial the amount of time you want it to flow...and it shuts off by the timer...it is not electronic, but rather mechanical. Similar to what HD, Lowes and Walmart carry for a cheaper price, but this one is smooth and does not have a water hammer effect when shutting of...but should be stored for freezing weather...

I'm sorry I cannot answer your question (Water hammer???); I never observed the shut off time. The piece only lasted one season, I wouldn't recommend it.

It depends. Mine stopped once when my water level was too low. I would keep an eye on the water level

Nope, what we hear is the water filling and the flap rising but it isnt loud, screeching, or scraping. You may need to exchange your unit. There may be a defect with that particular one. Good Luck!

Hi Gregory, Thanks for the question. Samsung HE Washers cycle the valves while water is entering in order to regulate the temperature which is measured by an internal thermostat. The recommended water pressure specification for this and other Samsung Washers is 20-116 psi. I can't tell you whether you would experience pipe hammer with a machine other than the one you currently own, but if so, I would suggest contacting a plumber for assistance. - Ms. Samsung

It sounds like a defective unit. Mine works perfectly.... knock on wood... no issues so far and I've had it for over a yr.

This unit doesn't need much of a warranty as one could test it by placing a few drops of water over the sensor. It should start blasting loudly. If it alerts someone just once to water (where it shouldn't be) then it's worth its meager price of about $10. It is a very useful device in monitoring unwanted leakage from water heaters, frozen pipes, or seeping foundations. It is well worth the investment.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "knocking", but the Hydor Wave Maker simply transitions power to and from the power heads. It must be the heads themselves. I have 2 Hydor power heads and I heard a slight click in the beginning but nothing now...at least quietly enough I don't even notice.

We have to shake the water out of ours to get it to stop beeping but even without doing that it only beeps for about 20 mins before turning off. I would say its a defective unit.

This question needs to be answered in two parts. The part of the unit that actually removes water from the air does indeed stop running when your set level is reached and starts again when exceeded. However, the fan that drives the air flow itself never stops. I see that as a real knock against this and many other Danby units as it keeps both sound and energy consumption higher than they need to be.
