Question : why is whole house water filter making banging noises?
The house we recently purchased has a whole house water filter system. When we purchased the house, there was no filter installed, and the water was bypassing the system. We purchased a filter, shut off the bypass and have the water going through the filter. However, whenever we shut off the water anywhere in the house, we hear a banging noise – any ideas why and how we could stop it?

any time a water pipe knocks when shutting off requires a simple fix.at a low point in your home usually the laundry room in the basement shut off the water and sweat 2 pieces of copper about 8 inches in length to each pipe which will allow air in system to be absorbed in them thus eliminating the knocking you here. you should be fairly comfortable with plumbing to try this. also make sure pipes are secure in visible areas in your home. if pipes vibrate when shut off a copper clamp can be bought in various quantities to secure pipe to floor joists in ceiling to stop vibration

What you are experiencing is called “water hammer” there is a spring loaded valve called in fact a water hammer reducer you can get at a good plumbing supply store ( I knda doubt you’ll find it at home depot or lowes) it attaches to the end of your water line, and absorbs the impact of the water when you turn off a faucet.

you could have air trapped in the line. you need to bleed the air and may need to install a water hammer. you might need to make sure that the water line is secured
