Shurflo's 105-pound capacity is ideal for a variety of applications. The standard fittings on the 300 water pump are 3/8" barbs. The water silencing kit 94- will not work unless these are screwed in fittings that can be removed and replaced. 591- The number 01 is invalid. I'm not familiar with this pump, but you can make your own silencing kit with a hose that has been certified for use with drinking water. Remember that you're using the hose as a "flexible" silencing device to keep the pump from colliding with the RV's hard tubing. If you have shurflow 105-style barb fittings, Barbs are included in the 300_ package. Check to see if the barbs are removable, as I'm not too familiar with the pump. If that's the case, the silencing kit, which includes adapters, should suffice. Make your own silencing kit if the barbs will be permanently attached. Use a 3/8 flexible hose with clamps of the proper length. You should use a hose that is safe to drink and can withstand the pump's output pressure (usually around 60 psi). To avoid any blowouts, use a hose with a higher pressure rating, and double-check the tubing size if you've already bought the silencing kit. If it's the right size, consider cutting the end off and securing it to the pump's barb with a clamp. There is one thing to keep in mind: Allowing kinks will result in a lack of flow. Making a circle with the hose and attaching it to the pump will allow the pump to move, but not the rigid pipe that causes the noise. I also added a couple of "computer mouse pads" under the motor and longer screws because noise was a problem for me as well. Don't use soundproofing to protect the motor. When used for an extended period of time, proofing can result in excessive heat buildup.
To be safe, I have my pump connected in a smaller space and have discovered that the radius can't be less than 4". The hoses are fairly sturdy, and you may be able to go without them, but this is not recommended.
They're designed to be used with drinking water, but if you let it, bacteria can grow throughout your entire system.
This kit came in handy when I needed to set up a pressure tank. The idea is that the extra hose isolates the pump from the RV's main plumbing, reducing noise; you can still hear the pump run, but it runs more smoothly.

then follow in my footsteps! I used the SHURflo 182- and this silencing kit together. 200 Pre- My water pump noise went from completely annoying to barely audible after I installed a Pressurized Accumulator. I was able to achieve this level of performance by moving the pump from the side of the wall to an unmounted sheet of 12X12" half-inch plywood. The plywood backend was then wrapped in three layers of non-woven fabric. To keep dishes from sliding around in your cabinets, you can purchase anti-slip material. The pump is now only held in place by the hoses in the cabinet beneath my sink. It's so quiet that you can tell it's working by how quiet it is. However, you won't be able to hear it if the sink above it is turned on. It is only audible when the sink and shower in the bathroom are turned on. That's how quiet it is right now. BUY THIS PRODUCT and follow in my footsteps.
It was simple to install and use. I also did some research on other helpful hints. Personally, I purchased foam pipe insulation and installed it on any of my camper's water lines that passed through walls, touched cabinets, or came into contact with anything else, as the vibration sound is amplified when the water lines hit something. Also, each time you set up camp, make sure to bleed any air from the water lines. This simple trick has proven to be more beneficial than any other.
I also wrapped the existing lines in foam where they came into contact with other lines/walls/etc. , but there was still no discernible difference in pump noise; I wouldn't recommend this because it didn't seem to help me.
Shurflo did not install a washer, as it turned out. Because Amazon does not provide product support for this product, I had to purchase a washer that was not nearly as good but did not leak so far. It helped a little, but insulating the inlet and outlet lines helped even more.
I purchased one of ShurFlo's most recent releases. generation pumps, unaware that they lacked the variable-speed drive. In a previous generation, the speed feature was used to reduce noise when the water flow was low. As a result, the new pump was significantly louder than I had anticipated. I inserted one of these hoses, coiled in a loop, right at the pump's outlet, and the amount of noise from the pump was dramatically reduced. br>br>I didn't think the second hose at the pump inlet was necessary, so I'm keeping it as a backup.
This item held a lot of promise for me. In my camper, however, it did not work. Maybe because my pump is mounted on a wall, the noise would be less noticeable if it were quieter. I'm not sure what I'm saying. br>I was also a little concerned by the tag on the flexible pipe. I'm hoping it's coming from the pipe's outside and not my water.
br>However, I've always wondered how two small hoses could claim to be able to silence the pump?br>Well, I installed these in my RV about six weeks ago. br>I'm still amazed at how much quieter the pump runs!br>Actually, they absorb the pump's vibration so that the water lines in here don't amplify the noise!br>It's a pretty cool concept! br>I'm a sucker for this stuff!.
I purchased this in the hopes of making the pump run more quietly. It sort of does, but that's probably because I layered some fun noodle sections over various piping sections to 1. Reduce vibrations as much as possible, and 2. To prevent the lines from rubbing against one another. Is it possible to use? Yes, it does, and I must now come to a halt and listen to see if the pump is operating.
