Question:
What can we do to quiet our fresh water pump down? Or is there a quiet one on the market we can get? Currently we have a 2088-422-174 with 2.8 gpm, 7 amps, 12 Volts and it sounds very loud like it’s vibrating. However putting my hand on it while it’s running and it’s not hardly moving. It’s mounted on rubber grommets to a piece of plywood which is screwed to the floor. None of it moves while it’s running. It sounds like a piston pump ready to throw a rod!! Please help

RV water pumps are known to be noisy but if it's excessive you can try using the Valterra RV Water Pump Silencing Kit - (2) 36" Long Hoses - 1/2" Diameter Item # P23512PB to quiet it down. If that doesn't work you can also add in an in-line accumulator tank to help but this is a pricier option.
If you would like to replace your current water pump the Flow Max RV Fresh Water Pump - 12 Volt - 3.0 Gallons Per Minute - 45 PSI Item # LC689052 is known to be one of the quieter brands.
