If you have your own private well and pump, what you need is a captive air tank to be installed somewhere in the water line, preferably close to the pump. i works as a "shock absorber" so you don’t get what they call "water knock". Ask a trusted plumber to help you.
turn off the heater. shut the valve to prevent siphoning. by-pass the softener. install water hammer devices sold at your hardware store. you may need a few if four house is big. if you need to you can use compression fittings or tiger gripps.
