Also if anyone knows how to reduce the sound of the water coming out of the drain PVC line from the tank down to the sump. Thanks.
You can place the pump on a higher density foam to absorb so of the vibration. Depending on your pump installation if the pipe coming out of the pump is glued and when glued the pipes were rigidly tight you can also have a vibration issue.
To deal with the water coming down into your sump, a sock filter will lessen the sound.
