Rodi booster pump noisey!!

[Notsolostfish]

The booster pump on my rodi its super noisey to a level where it vibrated my whole house and i can hear it from my basement its crazy. Any solution for this?

I can’t see the Video, could you load pictures? Did you put a RO/DI Strainer before the Pump? The Pumps don’t like it when they ingest sand. . Should be to your water Source, Shut off Valve, Strainer, Booster Pump then to your Sediment Filter.

Putting a silicone mat under it may help.

Would that help me make it quiet?

Try and mount it so the inlet and outlet are at the top. You may have air trapped in the Pump. Mine came with Grommets for the Legs, are they installed? You need the Strainer to keep sand out of the Pump. It sounds like mine when the inlet is restricted. IE I did turn the water valve on.

Mine didnt come with grommets? It has the body and 4 screws i dont recall any grommets. The noise killing me

Take the Pump to an ACE Hardware, go to their Hardware Assortment Isle, and get these to go in the Holes in the Legs, Don’t forget the Wood Screws. Your pump needs to be mounted w the tubing up, mount the pump vertical, so air doesn’t get trapped in it.

Whats this washers called? And do i mount it vertically on the wood?

Noise sounds similar to mine. I don't think there is anything wrong with the pump. It's just how it is. The basement space is probably resonating it through the house. I've got mine in the garage.

Solution: Put it in a weather proof box and bury it 6 feet deep in the backyard.

That's kind of loud for a booster pump...

test this:
does it sound like that when there are no water lines connected to it?

It’s called a Grommet.

We will respectfully disagree with your configuration. It's not that your suggested config won't work... but it is not ideal. The weakest part of these systems, in terms of ability to withstand high pressure, is the clear housings. Best to not expose them to the elevated pump pressure.

Put it on a neoprene mat of something similar. Might want to get it off that wooden shelving unit.

Is that an 8800 pump or a 6800 pump?

I have that same Pump, and mine came with Thick Rubber Grommets, for the Feet. Mounted mine to a Board with Machine Screws and Nuts with the Nylon Inserts. Didn’t Snug them up tight, to give a little play.
