Help me finish my plumbing!

BrothaWolf · 01-29-2007, 07:08 PM

Quick question for those of you using in sump pumps. What if anything can I put under my pump to dampen vibration. Im down to my final plumbing connections and I need to allow for a pad or something. Any ideas? Thanks!

External pump? What about a mouse pad? I personally just use a few pamphlets I had laying around the house, so I can add or take away based on what the pump is doing.

Did you see the thread for jhnrb's project in reef chronicles?

He uses some cool rubber booties for his pump.

He's using a Mag-Drive pump... they don't come with them either. He must have gotten them from someplace else and adapted them to his pump.

Why don't you send him a PM and ask him where he got them...

I have an in-sump gen-x 4100 plumbed into UV. I never use flex hose and always PVC. I use the PVC to suspend the pump off the floor. Same with my in-sump skimmer. PVC is strong and can hold the pumps off the ground and away from the walls. Thats what i do.

the rubber baby buggy bumpers are auto parts, cast in bolt on one or both ends, how about expanding foam, perfect fit, easy to trim and paintable.Steve
