How to make RV water pump quiet.

I was able to make my RV water pump quiet by using two 5 foot vinyl tubes on each end of the water pump. It was an easy and very cheap upgrade. There was a major difference with the noise and vibration decreased dramatically. The material The material was purchased at a local hardware store.

I just found this fixin. What a difference. This is going to be my next application to try to silence my water pump. Thanks, Al.

actually showing the install would have been useful

[@jonnytacooutdoors]

Can you link what you used? Where did you install it? Underneath the pump? Or just new hose line wasn’t too clear

[@chevyvantravel9735]

too bad you didn't show how to do it

Have a 2021 Thor Compass 23TE and the pump was banging; I put a very short piece of pool noodle on pump discharge line and system was improved. I intend to apply your suggestion and also have read a report where someone placed pool noodle material under pump and will possibly go for that..

I'm glad to hear you fixed your noisy pump as well. Removing the noise from the water pump will be different for every application. In fact when I had my water pump in my hand with the original set up it still made the banging noise due to the rigid piping connected directly to the pump. Take care and enjoy the camping life.

My wife has alz and every time the pump cycled she would ask: What's that? The pump in our Thor, probably the same mfg blew it's diaphragm 2 weeks ago. I had seen another KZbin that recommended a better pump on Amazon. I mounted it on a sheet of packing material like your pool noodle and now you can't hear it 😂

any issues to date after completing this MOD?

[@treetom77]

Any issues with mold growing in the vinyl tubing?

[@MatthewGross]

I have not seen any mold.

One more thought. I would highly recommend not drinking RV water.

@@MatthewGross so true! In years and years of RV camping, there have been times when I filled a white bucket with water from the camp source and found black mold coming out of the spigot. Sometimes the camping spots might not be used for a long time and the water is not flushed through the lines coming around and throughout the campground. You cannot be assured that using a filter between the spigot and your coach will catch everything. double check your own gear and replace your filters frequently. Always connect the two ends of your hoses together when you are not using them so that insects cannot crawl into the hose. It is relatively cheap to purchase bottled water and if the use is long enough, it is relatively cheap to use a filtering system like a Berkey.
