The Altecnic Reflex PV016C is an essential solution for homeowners and plumbers looking to eliminate disruptive pipe noise caused by water hammer. Designed for use in potable water systems, this compact expansion vessel effectively absorbs pressure spikes created by quick-closing valves, protecting your plumbing infrastructure from long-term stress. While it is highly effective for localized protection near taps or appliances, it is important to note that it should be installed as close to the source of the pressure surge as possible for optimal performance.

Yes, the Altecnic Reflex PV016C is designed for use in potable water systems.
It is most effective when installed as close to the appliance or tap causing the water hammer as possible.
No, this is a point-of-use device. It is intended to solve problems near specific appliances or fixtures.
It does not require active maintenance but should be inspected for leaks during routine plumbing checkups.
This device manages pressure surges (spikes), not consistent high pressure. If you have high static pressure, you may need a pressure reducing valve.
Ensure the arrestor is installed as close to the valve causing the shock as possible. Check that the unit is not airlocked.
Check the pipe threads and ensure a proper seal was used (e.g., PTFE tape or appropriate sealant). Re-tighten the connection carefully.
Installation should always be performed by a qualified professional to ensure system integrity. The unit should be mounted in the line supplying the problematic outlet. Ensure that the plumbing system is depressurized before beginning the installation. Once installed, periodic inspection of the connection is recommended to ensure no leaks develop over time due to system vibrations. No specific maintenance is required for the unit itself, but it should be checked during annual plumbing system inspections to ensure the bladder or diaphragm remains intact.
