I recently replaced a pump which transfers drinking water from 5 gallon bottles to my refrigerator and hot water dispenser. The line between the two is 1/2 rigid copper with 1/4" plastic from the new Flojet pump to the copper 1/2" line then it reduces back down to the 1/4" copper at either the refrigerator or hot water dispenser connections. My old pump just hummed when it came on and off, very no intrusive. Now the lines are very loud when the water is feeding through the pipes. It is by demand only when there is a need for water from the dispenser or the water line to the frig. I thought it might be loose pipes, so they have all been secured with foam at all strap locations. Could it be the copper coil behind the frig that is vibrating? It's similar to water hammer but only when the pump is running. Any suggestions would be helpful.
