Free pump vibration reduction

Chunkylover763 · Apr 25, 2006

Here is a place that you can get a free sample of foam that will obliterate any vibration issues you may have http://tempur.imswebmktg.com/tempur/unique/82836.php?GTSE=GOOG&GTKW=tempurpedic
I recently built my first WC setup using a danner mag3 pump, whenever I tested the pump, it was super quiet, but once I assembled the case and put it inside, everything started vibrating. I was using some styrofoam cushon that my psu shipped with but it wasnt doing the trick so I decided I would have to get creative to solve my vibration issues. One of my roommates is always talking about how amazing his tempur-pedic pillow is filled with its special foam. I went on their website and it turns out that they offer free samples, you just fill out a little form and a couple weeks later it shows up at your door. The sampe was about 3"x5"x1" which is enough to take care of pretty much any pump.

Thanks for the link, Chunkylover. It's always good to find something that is both free and useful.

I just ordered my foam, sounds like a sweet deal! Thanks OP!

hmm... I'm going to order some of this! good find.

I'm currently using some foam that I got from JoAnne Fabrics. It's just part of an 8 1/2x11" sheet of foam about 1/4" thick it works well.

The two things in my house I would never trade: my Dell 24" Widescreen LCD, and my king-sized Tempur-Pedic mattress and pillows. Mmmmmmmm .... it's like sleeping on a cloud of wholesome awesomeness.

I'm in for this. Going there now and signing.

Seufari · Apr 25, 2006

This is a great idea... thanks OP!

Now that I think of it, that foam may be great for any kind of sub-ambient cooling
setup. seems that it forms a great seal after being pressed on. I think that I just
might check out just how that could work. I am in the Pre-design phase of a VLF
(very large format) Bong cooler that should give me just those kind of temps. My
first worry would be condensation, and this foam may be just the thing!

I never thought of using this stuff as a sound dampener. Then again, I never knew there were free samples. Good find.

Nice find, I love using the black rubber sponge that they sell at OSH as well, but I bet the sponge material used for temperputic beds would isolate the noise completely!
