Hi guys. Swapped my beloved folding camper this spring for a caravan. This unit has a Shurflo onboard water pump. It's ridiculously noisy. Yes I know the whole internet says they are noisy but I'm looking for some comparisons here please. The best way to explain it is , when I run hot or cold water it sounds like a chinook helicopter is coming. The longer it runs the louder it gets and it's outrageous, this can't be a product sold like this. The sound reverberates down the pipe work. I've tried putting some damping sponge under the pump, it made now difference what so ever.
Also, I can see the pulsing that the noise makes in the flow of water if you understand me. The flow is not constant it pulses with the noise.
My water barrel attachent is truma, but there's no pump in the barrel , just a pipe with filter even though the van has a connection for a pump on the connector.
Is the pump faulty?
Is there any adjustment on flow or pressure ?
Should I have a pump in the barrel or just one or the other ?
Please help, it's making a terrible racket !!
Thanks for reading.
Cheers.
