Title: Are Submersible pumps Quiet
Post by: Mike #1 on April 10, 2013, 09:37:56 am

Looking for a quiter transfer pump my current pond pump makes quite a noise and sometimes I have to fill up on a morning and dont want to be disturbing neighbours .

Current pump blares out 75db I cover it in damp cloths to muffle sound but dtill not much quiter. Mike

We live in a terraced cottage and my transfer pump is about 5metres away from their bedroom window so need it to be almost silent if possible .

Thanks for replys lads . Mike

They are a lot quieter, just a light hum, normally faster as well but I wouldn't want one in my bedroom.
