Hi,
We have a shower waste pump located between joists, which is noisy when running, and also leaks. I posted about this on the plumbing board, but now I'm looking for advice on a better way to install it to try to reduce the noise which I think is at least partly caused by vibrations going through the joists and into the ceiling/walls below.
The pump sits on a piece of plywood, which sits on two batons, each attached to a ceiling joist. See photo I have taken from below.

We are having the pump serviced, and I am then planning on putting an anti-viration mat below it (i.e. between the pump and the plywood), but I am also wondering if the plywood can somehow be connected to the joists differently - e.g. using some kind of anti-vibration fixing. I have googled these and seen plenty of different looking options, but I am just not sure how I would use any of them in practice to achieve what I want to do.
Does anyone have a link to a suitable product along with idiot-proof instructions on how I could do this?
Cheers

P.S. There is no suitable, practical, alternative location for this pump without major work which we are just not in a position to do just now.
