I need to buy a new water pump for my tt. Are they all pretty noisy? Suggestions and appx pricing if you know.
Or install an accumulator tank next to the pump. It will smooth out the flow and stop the pump from short cycling when you barely crack open a faucet.I do have a pipe in the rear of the trailer rattling on stuff that makes a horrendous noise, but I just need to get busy and fix that by wrapping or securing the pipe.
Interesting. We had a new pump installed last week and the thing is LOUD. Some good suggestions here as to sound dampening but the idea of a pressure tank is something I've never heard mentioned. That might be worth looking into for us as there's a fair amount of room available in the compartment with the pump.We also have a 2-gallon pressure tank that cuts way down on how often the pump runs.
That is exactly what the silencing kit is designed to resolve. I actually just bought the parts and made my own kit.the noise doesn't come from pump, it comes from other areas where the pex rattles against something when the pump comes on.
This right here. I'm currently hooked up to city water. Yesterday, sometime between the time I got water for coffee and the time I was ready to take a shower, my heated hose blew up on me. Went to turn on the faucet and no water. Stepped outside the coach and there was a puddle 6" deep around the water connection. Glad I had water in the tank, so I could still take my shower. New hose on order.I like to be able to hear my water pump, in case there is a line, fitting or fixture failure.

I too want to hear the pump (but not too loud!) for the same reason, to hear it cycle frequently and I know there is a leak in the system. I always fill the tank and draw from the tank, never using the city water connection. The only reason I use the city water connection is to add the compressed air adapter for blowing it out!!!This right here. I'm currently hooked up to city water.
