![]() How have you plumbed it in. The Iwaki pump on my closed loop was like that until I fitted a short length of spaflex in both the inlet and outlet pipes. It dampened the pumps vibrations that were transmitting through the ridgid PVC before.
I am using a Mak-4 for my skimmer, and did it the same way. It too is quiet. I also mounted it to a piece od plywood with some rubber furniture feet on the bottom to isolate it from the floor.

![]() Where can you find Spaflex? Would I be correct in assuming a Hot Tub retailer or can you find it at a good plumbing store?
