There are only two ways
to stop the bang -- it's water hammer, of course. The first may not be effective -- it often isn't -- but if the flow is low enough you may be able to stop it with a standpipe (I don't suggest something like a Well-X-Trol on effluent). More likely not. The preferred route is a slow closing check valve. There are a variety of these out there, depending on size.Br. Jamie, osb
