I'm getting a lot of noise. Its mounted to wheel well. I've reinforced the mount and added more rubber. Insulate the pump? Cover how much?

Thank you for your inquiries. This compressor is not a sealed compressor and is not recommend to be installed in the wheel well. The engine compartment or inside the vehicle will be a better choice for the install of this compressor. Please do not run the compressor without the engine running. Thank you

Mount under the hood if possible to trim down on noise. My is mounted underneath on frame and I haven't had no problems with it

I haven't thought about that yet, since it's only my first year in August. My guess is take it outside and blow it off with a compressor or if you don't have one; take it to the nearest gas station where they fill up air for tires and blow it off

Stuff a little cotton in the intake. Most of the noise is from the intake chamber resonating.

i would check for a vacuum leak on the intake side before changing or adding a pump, if it works good some time, it sounds like a air leak .Lost of luck

You need to replace the gasket in the female part you are putting it into. That rubber gets hard.

Make sure the tube going into the pump isn't kinked and fits nicely in the out spout. I don't think my is noisy. My dog and my two cats use it just fine.

Hello,The pump is not very noisy. It is like a humming sound. I hope this helps. I really like the Leg wraps.

No, should not be that loud (but mine is louder than I would like). Mine reminds me of my old fish tank air pump in loudness. Sounds like yours may be vibrating inside of the unit.

Hi, I have used this product with no customer complaints.... However if you are experiencing noise, you can use an insulator of some sort such as ice and water shield. Every situation can be different but try the above. Hope this helps...

I had the same noise on mine and found out it was the positioning of the pump that was the problem. I had the junction box part of the pump in the 12 o clock position with the pump horizontal. I turned the pump so the that box went to the 6 o clock position and the noise stopped and never came back. It could also be air in the system. Hope this helps. Dave

This compressor had a slightly different form factor than the OEM unit. I had to bend a bracket slightly to get it to fit without rubbing. Make sure you use the vibration dampening pads off the original unit & the noise should be minimized. The unit by itself is not that loud when running; it's the vibration coupling into the vehicle that causes all the noise.

My pool people says with loud sound , it is on its last leg. Mine was also leaking water. I replaced rather then refurbished.i believe was right move. However if not leaking and working wait till it goes. Bought new pump online ,less money then local. Noise from housing motor !i believe he said.

I put a few heavy washers and bolts over the noisy pump, pressing it against the insulation and bottom of the compartment. It's nearly silent now, and the light bubbling covers it up.

It could be the pump rotors are beginning to rust and expand like I mentioned in my review. When this happens, they start scraping and making noise, and the water circulates less. There is not much you can do about it.

Take the motor out. There is a slide switch one side that determines how hard it pumps. Make sure this is set to at least medium (in the middle) or up it to high.When I first hot mine, I had to put it on high for the first week or so and then I was able to turn it down a little.

Yes. What I did is I separated the fan from the pump installed an extension hose and cord so that I was able to install the fan more flexible and I got rid of the noise of the pump which is annoying after a period of time.

Got any pictures? I remember feeling like I was stretching it a bit when I first installed it. It's also much easier in warmer weather. I could maybe help out more if I saw pictures and better understood the problem.
