Hope someone can help. Three weeks ago I installed an expansion tank on my water line after my prv and befor my hot water tank. The tank is a watts tank which I calculated on their web site as the proper size for my system.
I am on city water incoming pressure at about 100-110psi. It is reduced down to 60 psi with my prv. The tank pressure is set at 60psi which is the same as the prv. I had no problem for three weeks and now all of the sudden after the system sets overnight undisturbed, when a faucet is turned on I have a fog horn sound in the entire house. Sound will go away for a short period of time such as taking a shower. However within a matter of minutes the sound will come back.
The reason for the expansion tank install was because I noticed an excessive amount of air in the lines after the system would set overnight. I am concerned the expansion tank is the cause, but why did it work fine for three weeks and the sound just start up now.
Any help would be apprecitated
Thanks
Dave
