This is the first year we have run the A\/C regularly, due to more consistent heatwave, and the pump is driving us crazy.  Even after the thermostat shuts the a\/c off, the pump cycles on every few minutes, making a loud grinding motor sound for 5 secs followed by a bit of water gurgling.  Contractor will be coming out to look and come up with solutions, but I am curious whether anyone else has dealt with this and what you learned\/tried regarding these pumps.  Are there ways to isolate sound?  Are there quiet pumps?  Ways to relocate?  Other ideas?    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This question is for those of you with high velocity central air (not sure if issue applies to regular central as well).
