Re: pump vibrating noise in sump
Hey Art,
What kind of pump is it? You need to make sure the pump is not resting against the sides of the sump and place a small pad under the pump so it isn't sitting directly on the bottom either. Mag drives come with a little pad for this purpose. |

Re: pump vibrating noise in sump
It's a sedra pump. It is not touching the sides and is suctioned to the bottom of the sump with the suction cups provided. I suppose I could put a piece of filter badding under it.

Re: pump vibrating noise in sump
You could try to place a think layer of filter floss under it as well.
