2 pond dredge pump for sale

Is there a quiet water pump?

MisaLetet asks:

I have a 2016 Fuzion 414 that has a loud water pump. I was curious if anyone knows of a QUIET replacement for the stock water pump?

JRTJH responds:

Some are less noisy than others but they all make noise and it's usually not the pump but the vibration set up by the PEX lines rubbing against the trailer structure, sometimes many feet from the pump.

Brentw-FRF suggests:

Get in there, isolate the pump from the floor ( rubber pad under it). Find all the water lines that are vibrating against floors, walls and each other, relocate, insulate with pipe insulation, tie wrap to reduce noisy vibrations. Well worth the work, I barely hear mine now.

The OEM Flojet in my coach was disturbingly loud at night. I purchased a Shurflo replacement and it was noticeable quieter, before I added rubber padding and insulated the cabinet its housed in with foam. I also added a "quieting kit" to the Shurflo which helped reduced vibration from the pex water lines. Now its whisper quiet at night. Kids use the toilet without waking us up. A worthy upgrade.

I invested heavily in... Pool noodles, $5 , cut them length wise and judiciously positioned them along lines coming from the pump close to, well, everything they touched. Used long tie wraps to secure them. Boom it's much quieter now. Wife is happy.

WNY Bullet says:

I isolated the pump from the pex lines by using braided lines between them. I also installed an accumulator tank inline so the water pump does stay on as long. I then foam lined the cabinet to help contain the noise too.

Hblick48 says:

I also installed an accumulator tank...made huge difference.

GMcKenzie says:

This. Especially for the late night toilet trips when the pump is next to the wife sleeping. Being able to leave the pump off and still flush 2-3 times a night has been a blessing.

MisaLetet responds:

Thank you for sharing all the mods and fixes you all have done! I will discuss them with the husband.

Opened the panel covering the water pump. I cut up some left over rubber shelf liner folded up to 1/2" thick to make isolation buffers. Removed the pump mounting screws and installed the buffers under each screw and the head of the pump. I also installed 1/2" foam pipe insulation everywhere a pipe touched a wall or floor. I tested the pump noise, it was greatly reduced. I noticed the pipes mounted on the control panel inside wall were still reverberating noise up through the wall. I insulated them using more rubber shelf liner. Again a great reduction in pump noise. I closed up the wall and tested again from inside the RV. The pump (original flojet) now only has a slight hum.

Yaroslow says:

Somewhat unconventional, but on our new Jayco FW, the water pump is not anchored to anything. It is not even close to the floor to suggest the screws were missed during assembly. It is held up off the floor a few inches by the PEX lines. It is a Surflo Revolution, the same as I had in my previous Passport, but noticeably quitter than I was able to achieve with isolation mounting and cavity insulation on the Passport. The accumulator tank is a must for late night bathroom visits.

JRTJH says:

I made a sound insulation platform to mount my pump on. I used a 3/4" foam mat and two pieces of 1/4" plywood. It isolates the pump vibration from the floor and with the soft hose pump attachments and "foam noodle wraps" where the PEX touches anything solid, our pump is significantly less noisy than before the mods.

RickReichert says:

I installed a piece of foam knee pad under each leg of the pump, and added a loop of braided tubing on the inlet and outlet. I also slightly relocated the pex lines under the kitchen sink to keep them from banging against the cabinetry. Very quiet now!

SkiSmuggs says:

I replaced mine with the Shurflo Revolution. Much better!

huhhhhh says:

I think the noise can be a blessing. It has made me aware that there was a small leak somewhere so I could investigate before it became a larger issue.

danielpa says:

Every trailer I have owned over the years has had either noisy pumps or pipes, or both. The RV I own now I do not hear the pump or the pipes. Perhaps the manufacturer has listened to the customers?

TheDustyGeek says:

I have to second Slow’s recommendation of the Sureflo Revolution 4008. It’s not silent but is much quieter than most of the OEM pumps I’ve experienced. I replaced it with the 4gpm jackhammer inspired model they put on my current RV. It also has a low volume bypass which can reduce the need for an accumulator tank to stop some of the low-flow rate cycling, meaning it runs a when there’s demand,but low flow rate, so you don’t get the pulsing in the water as the pump turns on and off.

+1 on the pool noodles. I got deep into the basement and went crazy with the pool noodles including under the pump. Works like a champ and cheap!
