A drain pipe was installed many years ago with the incorrect slope so it was recommended that I install a Saniflo Sanishower Flat. The specs say 45dB so I found the Sololift2 Grundfos D-2 which comes in at 40dB and also allows hotter water though, 50C, and seems to perhaps require less maintenance. My plumber said this should also work based on my setup. But I'm wondering if anyone knows of any quieter models out there or has any other advice for keeping these things running quiet. I don't have to pump very high so all of this seems overkill. I would rather not even use a pump but it would require vast changes and be very difficult to fix the issue otherwise according to my plumbers.

Thanks!

The collective wisdom on here says put the pump on a paving slab on a rubber mat and then see if this helps before you change the pump set. centralheatking

That is for shower pumps which are different sound & vibration wise this is a new install, not replacing or changing.
Pumps have ativations levels, the case here is the shower tray needs to drain by gravity into the pump to the required depth to activate the pump, all this talk of raising the pump with (or without) anti- vibration feet is counter productive unless you are prepared to raise the shower tray. As long as the pump is not sited directly on joists or in a hard walled room it will be fine on the pads supplied and in the worst case carpet underlay works well.

Be polite about your criticism people. Threads end up being blown way out of whack just because a smiley face wasn't used right or a comment was seen as harsh when it wasn't intended on being meant as harsh.

It's a shame tarnish awesome advice with crappy unthought out replies.

I am the same in real lfe Dan, a spade is a spade. Too many wannibies here sometimes telling people scrap. Plenty of other sites for that nonsense.
