Noisy pump?

Always appreciate information on how to fix items.

yes please! the noise is not terrible, but being able to quiet it some would be worth doing, thanks for the efforts to sketch it out for us.

If a rubber mouse pad is not sufficient, you could mount the pump on a 'sound absorption' pad.
It allows you to bolt the pump to the pad and then using separate bolts, bolt the pad to the floor.
That is what I did, it made a big difference in noise level. I also installed some foam insulation sleeves (used on water pipes) on the hoses that run to and from the pump.  That also quieted down the pump noise.

marwayne, I am intrested, I tried techstreks mouse pad under the pump, it helped some, however I thought that most of the noise was from hydralic surge, as the diaphram pump pushed and then quit water would move in a jerky style down the water lines and cause the pipes to jerk, kind of like when the washer in your house slams a valve shut and the water causes the pipes to jerk due to the inertia of the moving water going from 20mph to zero. I though about doing a water column with an air pocket in the lines but it is too much trouble/work for the results. thanks for the tips.
