Noise made to fill up tank

[Fed up of my neighbours]

With regards to filling your tanks at home, how noisy is your equipment and how do your neighbours feel about the noise? I ask because my window cleaning neighbour is making my life hell, his pump is going all day and night, giving my partner and I constant headaches and my children are struggling to get to sleep at night. Th noise is horrendous it sounds like we live on a building site.

Is my neighbour doing something incorrectly or is the noise neccesary and they are just inconsiderate neighbours?

It must be bad for you to come onto a window cleaners site to find out. I fill my van using a booster pump, which would probably be the noisiest way you can do it, and I can't here it running in my Office / back bedroom. Don't understand why filtering his water using just water pressure should make much noise at all.

Man up and go speak to him about it ,

Have you spoken to them? I'd hate to think I was causing my neighbours grief due to the noise I was making.

I run a small window cleaning business and am producing pure water four days a week. I live mid terrace and my setup is right outside my back door in a wooden cabin, I also use a pump to increase the water pressure to make it more efficient but I can hardly hear it. I'm guessing that perhaps your neighbour has a bigger system or something. The noisiest bit of equipment I have is a pump used to transfer water to my vehicle. It produces a loud hum but it only takes five minutes.

Using a booster pump will or can be noisy but I produce a 100 ltr of water in a maximum time of 2 hours , I don’t understand why it’s taking him so long to have his system running , go and speak to him explaining the problem Ime sure this situation can be easily resolved .

Thankfully my neighbour is a bit deaf ?

I presume he has it located outside and not in his garage hence why you can hear it. Try and come to an agreement if he can stop it at certain times. 

 

[Neil.. Lancashire]

You should get him to clean your windows for free, to compensate you for the noise inconvenience ?

If the pump is sitting on something hollow the sound can reverberate and increase. Hopefully it will be a simple fix, with a bit of thought. .

Ask him about it. if he's reasonable and genuinely can't get a fix, I'm sure if one of you were to post photos on this forum someone would have a suggestion. that someone would likely have a name beginning with s and ending in ruce!

Hmm! Who could that be? ??

My booster pump was noisy and it was the wood it's screwed to vibrating on the plastic shed it is in.

Bit of carpet underlay behind the wood and silent now.

Jist a slight hum and neighbours said to me they can't hear it.

Small ro so on all night and Pete next door said if he goes in the garden early doors when it's silent outside it is a very quiet hum like a fish pond pump and not an issue at all.

It must be vibrating on something.
