I'm looking for a water pump that does not use pistons. I want to eliminate the noise, vibration and pulsation of the typical Sureflo piston pumps. I'm not trying to make my Sureflo a little quieter but am trying to completely eliminate any pump noise. I already have flexible connecting lines and an accumulator tank. I want it to sound just like I'm on shore water even when using the pump. Anybody have any suggestions?

I have one if these in my trawler. Its still a piston pump but it sounds like a purring cat when running. The more water you use the faster it turns.

Isolate it with flex hoses and you will hardly hear it.

I have the same pump as Twinboat. It is a lot quieter than my old one, but it's not silent. Location of pump is important regarding sound. If it's mounted on a flimsy piece of luan or plywood, it's going to rattle and make noise no matter what type of pump you have.
