Quiet water pipe. stop knocking

I was able to stop the rattling water pipes in my RV. That works great. Absorbs vibrations in the tank chamber. The installation depends entirely on the position and mounting of the water pump of the particular motorhome. It can be a simple 5 minute install. In my case I had to cut a piece of molding to fit. . There was an hour to get it. Another problem is the initial pressure setting. The instructions are vague and don't really give details on how to fill the tank. I ended up using a bicycle foot pump. Pumped him up to 45 pounds. Then he put a pressure gauge on it, turned on the pump and opened the tap and slowly lowered the pressure, listening to the pipes. When it was a purr I stopped. Turns out the recommended pressure is 30-35 pounds. Now not only can I turn on the water without gasping, the pump doesn't even turn on for the first liter. In the end it works great.
