Do you hear a loud bang in the water pipes when your washing machine or dishwasher stops taking in water? That annoying noise, known as water hammer, is not only disruptive, but can also cause damage to your pipes and connected appliances over time. The Duco Water Hammer Arrestor is the most effective and reliable solution to eliminate this problem for good and protect the lifespan of your installation.
How does the Duco Water Hammer Arrestor work?
Unlike traditional arrestors that are mounted on a T-piece, the Duco arrestor is a flow-through model. You place it directly between the tap and the supply hose. This allows all the water to flow through the arrestor, completely absorbing the pressure wave created when a valve suddenly closes. A unique, flexible rubber diaphragm in the arrestor expands to absorb the shock and then contracts again. This ingenious, mechanical system works without electricity and is completely maintenance-free.
The main benefits at a glance:
-
Effective Protection: Prevents the harmful pressure surges caused by water hammer and protects your pipes, taps, washing machine, and dishwasher from damage.
-
Quiet Pipes: Enjoy peace and quiet at home, without disruptive banging noises from the water pipes, especially at night.
-
KIWA Quality Mark: This water hammer arrestor is equipped with the KIWA quality mark, meaning it meets the highest Dutch quality and safety requirements for drinking water installations.
-
Optimal Hygiene: Because all the water flows through the arrestor, stagnant water is prevented. This guarantees optimal water renewal and prevents bacterial growth.
-
Easy Installation: Thanks to the 3/4" male thread on one end and the 3/4" female thread on the other, you can effortlessly install the arrestor between your washing machine tap and the hose without any special tools.
A Durable and Worry-Free Solution
The Duco Water Hammer Arrestor is designed to last for years. If the air cushion in the arrestor loses some pressure over time, a special vacuum valve automatically replenishes it to the correct atmospheric pressure. This ensures perfect operation at all times.
Protect your valuable appliances and enjoy a quiet, trouble-free water pipe system.
