Both my iron filter and water softener use the old style Autotrol valves actuated by cams. At the ends of the cycles, the valves slam shut creating significant water hammer. The backwash GPM on the iron filter is much higher than the softener and so produces the most water hammer. Unfortunately the poor quality of the water between the precipitation tank and the media tank means that a water hammer arrestor would likely clog up with iron in no time. I could unthread it periodically to clean it out and snake out the line back to the tank at the same time.
Would something like the Watts SG-Series with the moving piston and O-rings get destroyed quickly by the precipitated iron?
