Will this device stop banging on the entire water system? We have banging not just on the washing machine but every toilet and sink..

This will only stop the banging for your washer (you need two, one for hot and one for cold feeds). Sioux Chief makes ones you can add to toilets and have arrestors for other applications; check out their website to see what you need.

Our builder put a separate one on our kitchen sink/dishwasher connection, so I don't think so. It's just per pipe/appliance. Worth the money though to stop the banging.

This device description says a pressure reducing valve should be used if the pressure exceeds 60 PSI. I've used it with over 100 PSI to reduce hammer, but when I measured 120 PSI I had a plumber install a pressure reducing valve which reduced the hammer and stress on appliances. Some appliances are rated to a maximum 100 PSI, my Kenmore washer manual says maximum 116 PSI.I use a Rain Bird P2A - Pressure Gauge to check home water pressure.

To reduce (eliminate) water banging , you want to put this device at the source of the problem. I purchased two of these devices to put directly onto the hot and cold water inputs of our new high efficiency clothes washer. That totally eliminated the banging problem throughout the house "caused by the washer". These new high efficiency clothes washers have very short duty cycles of high volume of water. The sudden "shut off" is what causes the banging because of the sudden interruption of water flow. I doubt that any toilet or normal sink/shower faucet could cause this problem. However, maybe a dish washer, but again I doubt it because the "on" water flow is of low volume. I hope this helps.Dave Thomas To reduce (eliminate) water banging , you want to put this device at the source of the problem.

This is my opinion, it will not stop the whole house banging because it is small and needs to be at the location of pressure, But it doses the job it was designed to do, on off water at washer.

Sorry I don't know if this device would help in your situation. However if I may suggest purchase one and give it a try. If it doesn't work you can always return it to Amazon. Make sure you get the right fitting for your need.

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.

Don't really know, but water level may be low, or maybe gunk got into mechanism. Suggest you wash out and refill it. Make sure water is all the way up to the top. The noise should disappear.

The pump supplies on demand water pressure. It will keep your pipes pressurized. When you turn a faucet on or flush a toilet it will activate almost immediately and maintain pressure. I have a pressure regulator valve on the outbound side to regulate the amount of pressure feeding the house. Should it run loud? No. In prior Amazon replies I've mentioned excessive noise but only when the pump is on it's final legs. This pump is quiet. I have it in my utility room and watch TV in the adjacent room. Do I know when it's been activated, yes. Is it loud and annoying, no.

No more than the normal sound of water gong through a pipe-as when you turn on the tap in a bath or kitchen sink. Standing next to the "box" when it is on- there is no sound.

I have no problem with mine when I turn it on however when I turn it off I hear pipes rattle which is caused by pipes not secured properly or the plumber did not put in a air absorber which is a 3''-6'' pipe above the angle stop. It a stops the water from jarring the pipes.

Yes, it will stop in short time, usually when the water starts to get hot. It will happen every time you turn it on. It is normal!

I don't know but I doubt it. It is just made to expand when the when flowing water stops all of a sudden. I may stop the pipes from rattling or knocking when the washer stops filling and shuts off.

I take my speaker into the bathroom every morning, but i dont take it into the shower itself. I have had my speaker for several months and it is still gaily producing sound in the bathroom, kitchen, outside, wherever I take it. My bathroom is well ventilated so it very rarely steams ups.

Yes. This device is remarkable. The sensitivity is almost like magic. I would highly recommend this detector to be used by EVERYONE, regardless of whether or not you think you might have a problem with water leaks. Under you lavatory vanities, kitchen sink cabinet, close to your water heater. The product is very affordable and requires no installation. It is virtually unnoticeable until it detects a leak. Once the alarm goes off, there will be no question in anyone's mind that there is a problem. Get some and prevent a very costly water intrusion experience.

I also have a noisy video. First there is the constant sound like water from a faucet and second is the sound from the auto focus clicking like morse ccode. Anybody else have this issue? Is it possible to get it replaced from a good batch? Or all items in this model have this issue?

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!

Not advisable. Mine shuts off if no water in it. There are tiny white noise machines sometimes available at Walgreen's

I just got my unit also about two weeks ago and notice a somewhat annoying creeking and clicking sound with every rotation. I have written to the sellers about this but have not received any reply. Will have to call to get an answer.

My best answer is that this device is a high volume pump and pumps make noises.... That is the best answer i can come up with.

I had the same problem!! The spigot stopped working, it would just make a clicking sound. Switch to shower and try it. For some reason that seems to reboot the system. I have to do this almost every time I use the dang thing. It is our cabin water pump/heater so lots of use and frustration. I wish I had my Coleman back! Anyway, try switching settings... Perhaps shut it down first. Good luck!

At first we did not, but now it happens all the time, and in all three bathrooms. Even with brand new batteries, they all eventually start flushing on their own. It seemed like such a great product, but sadly we are removing all of them. :(
