The IRVWPC removed probably 70% of the sounds our water pump was making. It has some cool features too, like shutting down if the water runs continuously for a long time.

Love these tech tips. 🔨 🔧 💥 Pool noodles around the pipes that touch the walls. Mat under the pump. It lessens the noise but still allows to hear for leaks.

Gotta agree with you Todd, it doesn't bother me either, and a great way to "hear" if you may have leaks.

I don’t mind the noise it’s part of my reason I travel in small box. But thanks for suggestions. Specially I appreciate your food and juice suggestions at end. I have diabetes and i recently found out all the lies I have been told in last 30 years. Love you man.

Absolutely agree, it's the perfect leak indicator, quite happy to hear it work when it should!

I love this guy!!!! Very real....if it ain't broke, don't fix it!!!

i agree w/u 100% on why the noise is good!!!

Thank you! This was great easy and effective method. Love the outakes as well

I had the same issue with the water hose as well, I used small section of pipe insulation foam. Fit perfectly and doesn't fall off.

I like the rubber mat tip. I have also used rubber pipe insulation for inlet,outlet hose for pump that worked well plus assisted in insulating as well. It went from a Brrrrr to a Hmmm 😂 so you could still tell you had a leak. I think adding the mat as well would reduce even more. I’ll give it a try. 🤙🏻

good tips on quieting, I would maybe add, Looking at where it is installed and find a better place for it, this may not be reasonable because of plumbing, but our Grand Design has it in the pass through behind the Nautilus, way better than our forest River that was under the bathroom sink. I 100% agree about the leak alarm, have saved us from disaster more than once.

Really enjoy your video’s. Lots to learn when it comes to RV’s Cheers Rob

Timely. My wife has been complaining about the noise since we started camping yesterday.

Another tip from someone in the RV industry. The vibrations from the pump transfer down the water lines. They can produce extra noise in the saddle mountings if they are not a neat fit. I have found a little squirt of silicone between the hoses and saddles under the RV can make a big difference. 😊

I agree with you, i like knowing if i have a water leak

Great ideas, thank you!

My first thought when I started watching this...who in the world is complaining about their water pump making noise, seriously? I agree Todd, this is my piece of mind to know if I have a leak and also a reminder to turn it off if I'm connected to a water supply!

I agree with you, the noise from our pump isn’t that bad and I want to know when it is running. 👍🇺🇸🦅😎

A person could just install vibration isolators at all four mounting points as well. They are standard supply items that can be bought just about anywhere. In industrial situations, we use them all the time to isolate compressor, motor, and other mechaical vibrations.

Todd, you are awesome bro!!! I fully agree and like your suggestions, but am in full agreement that you want to hear the pump to know of a problem in advance. I just found I had a stupid drip leak at the hot water tank drain plug, but that little drip 10 hours later and all my water is gone. I def would like more info on becoming a certified rv teck.

A mousepad is also good for helping to eliminate the noise. When you put the screws back in don't Reef them down tight have a 1/16 inch or so of play that will also help reduce the sound. Another thing you can look at is to make sure the water lines around the water pump are not touching a wall or anything solid that will carry the sound and worsen the vibration.

I love Todd humor!

In my 5th wheel the water pump is behind and under the Nautilus P4 panel. I got a small (new) plastic cat litter pan and put that under the water pump then screwed it back down. The pump has its own rubber feet sealing the screw holes. Then I placed a Govee water leak alarm in the plastic pan. That way if any leaks from the spaghetti that is the P4 plumbing or the water pump will get captured in the pan and trip the alarm. I also put another water alarm under the hot water tank. If the horse mat is too thick for your space, a small section of a yoga mat, treadmill mat, or mouse pad works too.

Todd, Different question. When it comes to tire pressure and setting up a TPMS system, what factor should be used for the upper limit alarm? Cold PSI listed on the vehicle or trailer plus x%? Love you videos, thanks for the knowledge.

We had a loud noise when the pump was running and discovered that it wasn't the pump. It was actually one of the water hoses coming from the pump in the basement and resting against the underside of the floor. When we put a cloth between it and the underside of the floor, the noise was reduced greatly.

Note to KZ owners; some trailers in the 2011 year have a vent hose connected to the water tank. Most owners installed a shut off valve on the vent hose, to prevent water loss during travel. If you're camping for more than 3 days, you have to OPEN the valve on the vent hose, to ventilate the tank. Otherwise, the pump gets very loud, because it's working harder to pump water against negative air pressure in the tank. It's just like when your water tank is getting low. The pump gets louder as it begins to cavitate.

add some foam insulation to the lines as far as you can this helps also.

If you make a quite box and your pump cuts off after running a bit you overheated the pump and you'll need to provide some airflow for the pump to cool down.

Very clever

Wish I knew this 2 months ago when my pump was making noise when not running, yep water leak, had in for repair on outside shower they did not tighten the fittings, good thing I will be at tech school next week

Hey! I would love to see a video of you guys adding a vent to a ducted system. My Rv has 1 AC unit and it is ducted but each duct side only has 2 vents per side.

I always shut pump off overnight and when not in the unit....

My water pumps sounded like rabid wolverines in heat. For both of my RVs (5th wheel and truck camper), I mounted the water pumps on rubber matting and suspended them in the air as much as possible. That eliminated a vast amount of the vibration transferred. Now, they just make a delightful little hum. Either that or my hearing has deteriorated more than I thought.

I mounted mine on a cheap knee pad and also installed a expansion tank and it is definitely 50% quieter

I like to hear it for the same reason. Kind of like an in the back ground warning system.

I would check the hoses, they could be adding to the noise by rubbing or being too tight against structure.

I worked with explosives in the Navy. We weren’t allowed hammers🤣

I gotta subscribe to you. That is some sound advice! I knew it would be even before I hit play though. Anyone with a beard that cool has got to know what he is talking about!

Use a accumulator tank so it doesn’t cycle on and off as often

Install an attenuator tank to smooth out the vibrations and cause less wear on your pump.

Install a water hammer silencer at the pressure side of the pump.

Question: Do you have a video on how to adjust a water pump's pressure? My water pump does not pump water fast enough to satisfy my tankless hot water to stay on when I'm showering or washing dishes. My water pump pulsates like this: umm, umm, umm and the water surges just the same. Please advise. Thank you!!

Id hook up to city water Connections.. much quieter 🤣

Eddie “The Beast” Hall is a strongman and an RV master?!?!

Accumulator tank? It can help reduce vibration and well as wear on the pump.

My pump drove me crazy thinking I must have a leak somewhere...(random short burst every couple hours) then finally realized it was the ice maker...lol

How about those campers from the 70s with the rubber washers to dampen the vibration?

Can you review the IRVWPC, the Intelligent RV Water Pump Controller, which is supposed to keep the water pump from constant on/off pressure to a constant pressure on mode, to quiet down the WP. I'd be interested in your comments.

I found the majority of my noise was coming from my pex water line vibrating against the thin wood paneling. Placed some foam between my water line and the wood panel and bingo most of my noise was gone.

👍👍👍👍👍

Can you suggest why mine is making inconsistent vibration noises. It's not a consistent vibration and I think something is wrong but not sure what it is

how does one target a minor leak?

The noise is the allure

Who needs a technical training course when you have a hammer, right? Thanks T. Safe travels. bg

Ok now I’m going to see if that’s true about bell peppers, yes that’s all I got out of this 😂😂😂 jk

You know you are going to get blow back for that hammer comment. Someone is goin to try to silence their pump with a hammer because you said so. HAHAHAHA.

My water pump noise is normal most of the time and then intermittently it gets super loud and stays that way for awhile. Super loud!!! Then it will mysteriously go back to normal after a day or so. It’s annoying. Anyone had this happen?

Hammer will take care of anything…except the wife.

Turn it off hahaha

Wierd SLIENCE ??

These are just advertisements, not what the headline says.

Grab another hydraulic sandwich (beer) and go outside. Won't hear a thing. Just sayin...
