Whenever I use the water in another room of my house the pipes going to the shower with a Jado diverter with a separate mixer rattle or hammer. It seems to be the hot water side. If I shut the water supply off to that shower the rattle or hammer stops. Any ideas on what a solution would be?
If you do not have an expansion tube on your hot water heater that might help.

It is due to the water pressure. You may need to install
a pressure relief valve at your main cold water line, so
you can set the water pressure and prevent your valve from vibrating, that is it it is annoying you,.Otherwise,
just let it be..
SOURCE: single handle tub faucet will not divert to shower
the diverter on the tub spout is bad you need to replace the tub spout or the pull up diverter if its a separate piece if you have the owners manual with a parts diagram you can order it on line from the manufacturer or a plumbing supply store. you will need to unscrew the tub spoup from the wall to do this use a broom handle or something similar inserted inside the spout and turn it to the left to remove it from the wall
SOURCE: I replaced my Posi-Temp cartridge for the shower
no one ever really figured out why this happens, but you can purchase a "hammer arrestor" to solve this problem. they work good and believe it or not they are best installed at shower valve. good luck
SOURCE: hot water pipe hot going into mira shower but no
need to adjust the anti-scald [protection] new systems are shipped in cold position and u adjust it to ur comfort
SOURCE: Had a leaky Moen Posi-Temp shower faucet.
I'm not aware of any problems with non moen replacement parts being the cause for a water hammer problem. Start with the simplest and cheapest correction which is using a moen replacement cartridge. If the water hammer persists then you may have to install a water hammer arrester in the plumbing system. This is basically a shock absorber in the plumbing system to stop the effect of water hammer. An arrester will cost you around $10 to $15 at your local plumbing supply shop. If you are not comfortable soldering copper then you will want to hire a licensed plumber to complete the work for you.
I had the same type of problem with an older toilet in my house. It developed a water hammer when it shut off after filling the tank. I replaced the fill valve with a generic universal replacement for about $10 and it stopped. Again sometimes the simplest fix will work. Let me know how it works out.
