If minimum vibration is an important consideration, it is recommended that vibration isolators of
a suitable type be installed under the base. The isolators must be designed for the operating

an extra cost. To further reduce the transmission of vibrations it is recommended to use flexible
connections, suitable for the system water pressure, be installed on the water connections, refer
water piping, section 2.3 for further details.
