When I bought my house, it was on well water and has the larger (probably 30 gallon or so) pressure tank.
Although the well system is still operational, we've switched to city water. In doing so, that pressure tank is no longer in play.
Do I assume correctly that the pressure tank acted as the expansion tank for the hot water? Now that it's not in use, should I install one to accommodate the hot water expansion?
Mrs. Zoom had me install one of those kitchen faucets that have touch control. (just touch any part of it to turn the water on or off). When that touch system is being used, you can hear the pipes banging a bit when the water is turned off. I'm assuming that's a shock to the system.
If I install an expansion tank on the cold water side of the hot water tank near that kitchen faucet, would that take care of everything?
