Water pump noisy...
Quick question.... My water pump is located under my kitchen sink area and it is pretty loud when it's being used. Instead of spending money on getting a new quieter pump, has anyone used insulation ...

You think a 10 or 15 foot would be as effective?
You only need to isolate the pump's vibrations so one or two feet of 1/2" soft vinyl tubing would do the same. You want to make sure the tubing can handle the pressure.
FWIW, I just replaced some tubing on my irrigation sprayer. The cross-linked tubing gets very brittle and hard because the sprayer sees a lot of sun. I replaced some of it with 1/2" vinyl tubing. The Shurflo pump on the sprayer is almost identical to the RV models, on-demand 60 psi.
