I have an on demand tankless hot water heater which works great. It is piped with 1 inch cpvc pipe. Temperature is set at 120, water pressure is between 30- 60lbs (well tank and pump) When a faucet is opened and the water heats up in the pipe, the pipes thump every few seconds. Not real loud but its noticeable. After several minutes the thumping will stop with the water still running. I have been thinking about installing a water heater expansion tank in the hot water line near the heater. Do you think this is the correct way to handle this? If not how would you handle it? Thankyou. - Rich in newjersey
