Water pump noise reduction?

[Bill Boltralik]

Anyone found a way to reduce water pump noise?
The pump in my Europa 31 is under the bed. When one person uses the toilet or sink at night time, the pump noise wakes the other person.

Brian C recently made a FB post about an alternative pump being tested (Seaflo 12v 56a variable speed pump). Has anyone tried swaping in this pump?

I just purchased the Seaflo 56A Series Variable Speed Smart Pump to replace the OEM 2022 Europa 31SS water pump which is quite noisy and in our case cycles way to much with the sink barely running. I have installed this pump on my last two RVs and loved it. The pump just makes a purring noise with low pressure. Amazing water flow. Highly recommended!

I know the water pump is under the master bed, but not sure how to get to it. Does any have the instructions on what has to be done to expose the pump? I assume the bedroom slide has to be out. Does the mattress have to be removed? I would sure appreciate any guidance from those who have replaced your Europa 31SS Shurflo pump.

Correct on rear slide must be out. With mattress folded, you will see the exposed portion of the bed base has a hinged portion at rear edge of the base. Open that and the pump is right there.

Thanks png31, thought it was harder to get to.

Tomorrow, I’m finally planning to install the Seaflo 56A Series Variable Speed Smart Pump on my 2022 Europa 31SS. My question for others with a Europa 31SS that installed the 56A pump, did you have to buy additional fittings than the ones that come with the pump? Do I need another 41F003 fitting? If so, they appear to be unavailable on Amazon.

Did you install the new pump? Success?

Oddball here.

1) Our water pump isn't loud. It has flex plumbing at the main connections and a rubber mounting system for the pump.

2) I WANT to be able to hear it run. As it is, it has to be pretty quiet to hear it at all. If I couldn't hear it, I wouldn't have caught that it was running continuously and dealt with that before it was ruined.

Yes, replaced my 2022 Europa 31SS OEM Shurflo A75 pump with the SeaFlow 56A pump. Installation was very easy. The 56A pump (orange/white) is amazing quiet and powerful. One of my best upgrades so far IMHO.

Here are the before and after pics:

Maybe tie wrap a bell/rattle to it? Or something that will make a noise that won't drive you crazy.
P.S. I like hearing mine run also.
