Yes!  Find out why the pump is vibrating and fix it.

The pump is has not been started yet, we are finishing the project, I believe there will be some vibration...Thank you

RE: Pum drains

You need to have an "open drain"! This is where you place a drain hub (usually a reducer large end up) where it sticks above grade about 3" to 6". Then you direct your drain connections to be positioned about 2" to 3" above the "hub". So all you have to do is crack the valves at these locations, the discharge is then directed into the hub and then down in the drain header.
