Do you have a water softener? It does sound like you have restricted water flow getting by something. My water softener rattles our house when it flushes the effluent. I haven’t heard of an on demand heat pump but I am going to go ahead and ask. By chance is your heat pump on demand? On demand...

Wow that’s a cool tidbit of advice I didn’t know as a licensed plumber. The screw hole location to determine the cartridge. I like that. It’s a nice time saver.

Let me know what you find

I don’t have time to look at the moment. Interesting about the Reverse Osmosis filter. I have a RODI filter for my salt water reef tank. I have had several different Reverse Osmosis Deionization filters over the last 12 years. 75 Gallons per day 90 Gallons per day etc. I hav never had an issue...

MA code is 1/4” per foot on 3” and below and 1/8”per foot on 4” and larger.
