What is a quiet alternative to the Osmolator pump?

I want to maintain the same low flow rate and need to pump about 4 feet up to the tank.

Thanks,

Dan

Yes. Seriously. It would be nice to do this without buying the relay. I did make it better by wrapping it with silicone trivets. It's much more tolerable.

Mines loud too. I hear it when it runs, but it only runs for a few seconds a few times a day. Replacing it is cheap from Tunze as well.
