Any tricks to get osmolator pump to sit flat on the surface?

Picture shows the pump. I can't get it to sit flat on the bottom. It always tilts. Even if I got it to sit flat, once pump runs, it tilts again. Any way to get it to stay flat on the bottom surface?

Mine tilts, but it's never caused any problems.

thanks for the reply. yeah, it does work.
I just want it to suck every last bit of water from the reservoir. That was the whole point why I paid a premium and bought the "sump pump" style water pump. so it can really empty the reservoir. I only have a 3 gallon reservoir, and I can probably get a least another day or so before I have to refill the reservoir if it can sit flat.

Generally we try to avoid having them sit on a surface due to noise, typically in our reservoirs we design them to be suspended by the cable and hose. I don't have any suggestion to make them sit flat as that is not really a consideration we have with this pump, it is best to never let it run dry or you will typically have to re prime it due to it getting airlocked and I would just keep up with refilling the reservoir.

You could probably use a rubber band and or zip tie to secure some weight on it.
