Has anybody come up with ways to reduce the noise from the water pump? I've put a hose with a loop in it on the pump discharge to isolate it from the rest of the piping. But that only helped a little. Still sounds very loud.
Any ideas?

There have been previous posts on the subject. One suggestion is to mount the pump on a thick rubber mouse pad or similar material, and the other is to connect to the pump with short flexible faucet supply lines like used in house plumbing. Both should absorb much vibration. You may also want to check along the plumbing to see if the pipes are against solid objects, a piece of the foam pipe insulation can be put around the pipe in those areas.

Call me an old timer (back before toilets and AC was common for camping) I like that the pump is audible! when it is running, but nobody is using the water!, it alerts me that the pump was A, Left on; and B, There must be a leak!

I shut our pump off unless we need it, I know not necessary, but I feel better that I am NOT using anything when not "NEEDED" LOL, including battery.

My reasoning? Well 2 fold, my old RV used to lose pressure so the pump would come on about every 5 minutes, for an instant. Second, being pragmatic and practical, I know and am constantly aware that Everything has a life-cycle or maximum number of uses before it will fail or cease to operate again. So knowing that, I figured the tinly little pump probably has a total of 2 years of life in them (sure it is a fairly conservative guess). So if used sparingly those 2 years worth of minutes should last for a long time, but not if every 5 minutes it was wasting them. Oh and yeah, just like the phone company, I automatically round up to the nearest "minute" in my head, LOL. so if you use for 2 seconds, or up to 59 seconds, it was a minute of life used...
