Hi all....
For my first post, I hope I don't have a stupid question !
I installed my sump, finnaly achieved to stop all bubbling, and overflow noises, and now I can hear vibrations in my submerges pump !!!
The return pipe is 1m60 long, and flexible pvc... When I put the end of the pipe at the same leven than the pump, there is no more noise...

Can you help me to solve this ???

Thanks to all

sounds like its all about pressure, however you might try and pump something soft under the pump and see if that help.

Hi,

thanks for you answer, I tried already using blue foam/sponge and it didn't worked. I tried to hang the pump with rubber, and the noise was still there...

My intank pump was doing the same thing. It tried several different things to try to correct it. Apparently it had some air in it that was causing it. I am no expert by no means. Just one of my experiences
