Hello,
I've searched this sub-forum but couldn't find the solution to my issue.
My well system consist of a below ground pump which fills an above ground tank. There is a booster pump on the outlet of the above ground tank and a pressure tank, etc. When the pressure tank gets to less than 40PSI, the booster pump kicks on and then shuts off at 60PSI. When the booster pump shuts off, there is an obvious "water hammer" in the house. A couple of times the pressure was enough to blow water out of a flex pipe under a bathroom sink.
So I am at a loss why the water hammer occurs and how to correct it? I have researched the issue but have just become more confused.
Attached is a photo of the system.
Any guidance would be very much appreciated.
