Mag Drive Mounting Question
- Thread starter Bud8Fan
- Start date
One is going into a sump so I will probably strap it to a solid rubber mat to cut down on vibration against the sump. I would imagine they are noisy sitting directly on the bottom of a sump.
The second is the one I would like to mount to a board. It will be drawing water from the tank then pushing it thru 2 Ocean Clears and a UV. Most pumps have a base plate so that the pump can be secured to a board or whatever your using. Could I just use metal straps to secure it?

Your on the right track.
Use nylon tie wraps to secure a closed cell foam pad (cut up an old wet suit or a mouse pad... whichever you have handy (just clean the one going into the sump, experiment with thickness')) to cut down on noise from vibration and to abate abration (don't need any extra holes in the sump).
Good Luck.
Let us know how it works.
