If you can't get it quieted down don't abandon your plumbing but look into what might drop in it's place. I've got a Dart (same make, sort of) and a close fit (2" in, 1.5" out). It's not whisper quiet but can guarantee way more quiet than yours. There's also the Snapper.
Quote from a marinedepot page " Quiet Sequence pumps installed near areas of relaxation and entertainment generate minimal noise levels For example, the 1/4 H.P. unit has 52 dB noise level at 10`. A normal conversation is 60 dB for reference." And the Dart is 1/8HP.
If you can try to hear one though first. I offered a reefer in Edm to come over and hear mine, I sure someone in Van would do the same. |
It did seem quiet when I ran it in my bathtub with some old plumbing I had. It was on the floor there. I have no idea why its SO loud now. One of the biggest problems is how much it vibrates in the stand and all the way to the floor. I can feel it from across the room! Regardeless of what we do, it will be without this pump and most likely with powerheads instead of a closed loop. Ive pretty much had it with this build and just want to enjoy a tank!
