This Swiftech pump is really starting to get on my friggin nerves! I have been running it for a few months now (thank god it hasn't busted a leak) and for a while I would hear a grinding noise at random times from air bubbles. I guess they finally worked their way out because that stopped, but then the impellor sounded like it started to slip and hit on something because it would make a really bad clicking and grinding sound for long periods of time until I hit it a few times or turned it on and off.

NOW my problem is the goddamn vibration! It's so bad I can feel the floor around my computer desk vibrating, and even when I sleep at night I can hear the damn vibrations in my pillow! I have tried several ways to get this ****er to shut up, and have resorted to putting a folded sock underneath it. That cuts the vibrations out dramatically, but after a while the sock must get settled, so the vibrations come back really bad until I adjust the sock again.

How the hell do I get rid of these vibrations? The pad on the bottom of the pump doesn't do jack.
