Thanks, Diehard! I assumed that the 3rd stick was for a setpoint but I wanted someone to confirm it so I knew for sure. I appreciate your reply!

Thanks for the replies! I installed the Sioux Chief arresters and they made a world of difference. Hammering isn't totally eliminated but it's really close. Way better than it was before. Not sure what caused this issue to start happening after the washing machine fill valve was replaced...

I've never had an issue with water hammer in my house until a couple months ago. The fill valve on our newer LG washer went bad. Because we had the extended warranty I just called the company and they sent a tech. He confirmed it was the fill valve and replaced it the next day. Ever since...
