Good luck!
Putting short uprights in a horizontal line really doesn't do anything for water hammer. You need at least a 3/4" dia x 12"-24" long pipe to do any good. Even with putting in long ones they will fill with water over time and have to be drained.

I guess you had fun doing it so not all was lost.
