Water on - shaking & noise starts

  The pre 2021 S model water pump is in the hatch over the toilet.  Is the faucet sputtering or is it the pump rattling?  Some owners have used pipe insulation to pad the area of the pump to prevent that noise.

  The faucet sputters a little.  I have opened the box to show the pump and it does not appear to be moving much.  It is almost like the pipes behind the driver's side wall are shaking and possibly hitting something.  I might try to see if I can put some pipe insulation on pipes that I can reach.  Thanks for the idea.

  Here are threads about noisy pumps and the pipe insulation mods.

  Thanks for the threads.  I have a few things to do now.  I will start with the pipe insulation.

  You may also have air in the water lines, that needs to be purged?
