I don't think it could do any good because water has to go up in your loop somewhere. I would be curious about possible adverse effects caused by gravity because of the non standard orientation. Perhaps there would be no problem but I would make sure before doint that.

Well often some sort of foam mat is provided with the pump by manufacturer, and I've seen many of those asaka noise dampening pad to be effective as a mat, but really all you need is some sort of buffer. You could even go to certain places and get a mousepad freebie and cut it to the size of your pump's footprint. I use a mousepad because the dampening pads are heavily overpriced.
Good luck,
Jack
EDIT: Those grommets, even if you switched them to be on the inside, would not do enough to keep pump vibration from transferring to the case.

Yes, but see, its going to be mounted vertically so the rubber grommets are good for the bottom of the pump, that will screw/mount into the back of the case, but the side of the pump, the blue part, that normally wouldnt be touching anything, will be resting on the bottom of the case, so I would need to put a mat down for it to lay on.MuEagle05 said:
jackrungh, thanks. Hopefully there will be some type of mat provided with the pump

that'll work just as well as mounting it "normally"

The pump comes with a neopreme mat. The thickness of the base in the diagram is the mat.

Oh alright. Thanks fhanderson
I'll have to get another one to put on the bottom of the case for the "front" of the pump to rest on too probably.
I'll still copy here what Swiftech writes back to me, but thanks crimedog and nikhsub1 - I'll take your word for it

That orientation will yield performance no different from an upright mount.
Gravity......crazy talk......
