Replacement fresh water pump suggestions?

Post by PHerzfeld »

Our fresh water pump is REALLY noisy. Mostly a concern when we're rafting up, have guests onboard, or we are in a crowded area, especially late at nite or early in the morning. Does anyone have recommendations for a replacement pump that is really, really QUIET ?

You might want to tighten the screws that mount your pump to the wall of the cabinet under the sink. I had to remove my pump for a problem, when testing for the fix the motor and pump just hummed, when I reattached the pump tightening the screws was surprised at how quiet it was. There are rubber "bumpers" behind each screw and at first thought I compressed them to much but the tighter the screw the less noise from vibration was noticed.
A rainy day project is planned to re-mount the pump on a block of wood for even less vibration I hope
