Thanks Marc !!!
In addition to trying to figure out how to reduce the vibration, I am dealing with on ongoing issue on how to dump the pressure from the pump when it ends it's cycle, so that the pump starts against zero pressure.
I first tried a 120AC solenoid activated three way valve, but the valve eventually leaked. Then I added a check valve downstream of the three way but the valve is piloted (requires) pressure on the activated port. Meaning the three way won't close with a check valve downstream. I have ordered a Genie unloader which is a mechanical valve intended for this purpose. I'll let you know how it works out. Gordon first made me aware the pumps did not have unloaders. I have seen that without the unloader that sometimes the pump will stall or refuse to start. That is not good for the longevity.
