FAQs

Where should I install the shock arrestor?

Ideally, install the arrestor as close as possible to the appliance or fixture causing the water hammer, such as near the washing machine or dishwasher water inlet.

What size connection does it have?

The SPARES2GO Mini Expansion Vessel Shock Arrestor has a 1/2" BSP connection.

Can I use this with hot water?

Yes, it is designed for use in both hot and cold water systems.

What is the capacity of the vessel?

The capacity is 0.16L.

Do I need any special tools for installation?

You may need a wrench or pliers to tighten the connections. Teflon tape or pipe sealant is recommended for a watertight seal.

How long does the shock arrestor last?

The lifespan depends on usage and water conditions. Regular inspection is recommended to ensure proper function.

What is the warranty on this product?

Contact the seller for warranty details.

What if I still hear noise after installation?

Check for other sources of water hammer in your system and consider adding additional arrestors if needed. Ensure the installation is secure.

Troubleshooting

Water hammer continues after installation.

Check that the arrestor is correctly installed and that all connections are secure. If the problem persists, you may need a larger capacity arrestor for your system.

Leaks are present at the connections.

Tighten the connections. If the leak persists, remove and reapply plumbing tape or sealant, then re-install.

Noise reduction is minimal.

Ensure the arrestor is installed as close as possible to the source of the water hammer. Multiple arrestors may be required in larger systems.
