Quieting a Return Pump

[Xiaan42]

I currently have a Quite one 1200 I am using for the return pump. I doesn't make a lot of noise but it causes allot of vibration noise. (you can feel the vibration from the pump on the stand)

I have currently put the whole sump on top of pink styrofoam and the pump also sits on some styrofoam .
Dose any one know of a more quiet pump or any way I can make this pump less noisy?

If it is hard piped put a length of vinyl tubing between the pump and PVC.

I am using a piece of 1/2" flexible PVC to connect to the hard PVC.

That should be just like using vinyl, so I guess that is not the problem.

 

[Xiaan42]

Thats what I thought to. Any other suggestions?

 

[gguertin]

if you are restricting the flow it will cause that effect?

Is it internal or external.

 

[Xiaan42]

it is internal and I am not restricting any flow.
