If you can reduce the inlet preasure that should solve the issue, the high inlet preasure and sudden closure is having a 'hamner' effect

Hi, the above comment is correct but also most filling valves have alternative pressure fittings to help reduce this effect, the plumber would fit the correct fitting as per the supplied installation
Instructions.
First action would be to contact your plumber and ask that he looks into you
Concerns.
