does anyone else have issues with vibration while pumping?

I don't... The machine vibrates of you leave it on a stiff surface but the bottles should not receive any vibration

Haven't had that problem. Only thing I can think of other than it is just broken is maybe the batteries are too weak to trigger the vibration feature?

Anything that causes the pump or lid to vibrate will cause noise. To insure maximun quiet running you should look down the hole, through which the water will be pumped, when you place the motor in the pump housing, and again when you place the housing under the top of the fountain. Move the spout to the center so that everything is aligned perfectly and there will be as little vibration as possible, which is the key to quiet running. It takes a little time and effort at first, but once you get the hang of it, it is very quiet. Also, make sure that you did not partially trap one of the pump's little feet in its housing, when you snaped it together after cleaning. This has become a very quiet fountain since I have learned to align the parts, and check the pump feet after cleaning, so that it functions as it was designed to do. The rubber fitting in the lid is great if you have the spout aligned through the center, and not at a slight angle where every vibration rattles the lid against the bowl. A little practice will work wonders in keeping this fountain quiet. I was not able to align other pumps as easily because of their disign and am very pleased with this design.

No. There's no need to shake it at all. It should foam instantly once you begin to pump.

I am not sure what the problem is. When I use mine while I am spraying I continue to pump when I feel like the pressure is letting up.

Make sure your contacts on the heater and breaker panel haven't loosened. We had the same issue with a pump and the neutral had become loose from the vibration.

I would say you have a defective pump. I so far never had that happen to me.

Perhaps the problem with the noise is the surface the pump is placed on causing a drumming effect. Try putting the pump on a soft terry cloth towell and see if that helps with the noise. Or put your ear plugs on. I use mine out side to brew my compost tea for garden use and leave the pump in the shed. If you put the pump in a insulated box it will probabley heat up to much and seaze up. Thats all I have for you. Best to you. ED

Mine is hung with cotton clothesline, just one strand simply tied around the body of the pump. I understand hanging it from a bungie cord or jumbo rubber band can reduce the vibration even further. Ensure that all your air outlets are in use or turned off. I have found the overall noise is greatly affected by which air stones are used. Mine is most quiet with the small 1" stones. If the air stones rest on a hard surface they can cause a lot of extra noise. Try holding the stones floating in the water to see if they are a source of noise and if so, arrange them so they don't rest on a surface that increases their noise. Sometimes even the air lines can cause a rattle when resting against other surfaces. You can follow the air line with your fingers to see if there's any place that's vibrating against something, and if so secure the air line with tape or whatever.

Yes i do have.. But i got rid of that by pouring some lubricant to the place it squeaks. It was good for like 2 weeks but now again i hear the squeak sound.

1) Attach the weights that were included in the package to the hose as shown in the directions2) If the weights are on, try moving them closer to the cleaner head3) Reduce the vacuum pressure to the cleaner by turning down the flow to the cleaner. There's usually a set of valves by your pump and filter assembly. This should be the first step if your cleaner is making a very loud thumping noise! NOTE: It will always make some noise.Good Luck!

No, our machine doesn't do that shaking and Squeaking. Your machine must have something loose in it. Write the seller and ask them the same question.

In my experience vibration is not a problem, the clutch or bar usually break before vibration becomes a problem. The failure rate of other components exceeds any problem with vibration.

Look for Simple Wishes pumping bra online, great bra! Just be sure not to walk away from what doing (I like to computer surf while pumping) b/c you forget your attached to the pump! I did that a couple times, sometimes loosing my milk and practically breaking my pump. Better yet, do your pumping over a soft surface if possible, JIC.

It is a diaphragm pump, so they do vibrate when running. If it is mounted using the rubber mounts and isn't touching anything else, it should be pretty quiet.

I've noticed that the Silver/Metallic ones don't last very long and start sticking, making it impossible to pump with just 1 hand. The colored ones last longer and I haven't had a problem with them. I would contact the seller and ask about a replacement.

I didn't have a problem - at higher volume level a little tickling on the skin due to the vibration. However, I could understand (especially if your sinuses were congested) how it would vibrate your semi-circular canals (they're where your balance is managed and are located in your inner ears) and could have some effect. But understand this is just my opinion, I'm not a doctor by any means.
