Asked by Harry on 10th May 2022Best Answer
"Air locks can be the coarse in pipework that coarse the banging. Or sometimes the wrong ball valve has been fitted to the tank ,and last but not least ,lever taps are often the coarse as they tend to not shut of completely, and as water trickles out it causes vibration .high pressure taps on low pressure water ."
