<DIV>Eric... mine is a 80 gallon horizontal... original install was just sitting
on a concrete slab on it’s metal feet... vibration and noise through the whole
shop. Later mounted it to two crossties (short one at each end) and it’s
amazing how much noise and vibration it took away... It’s in a shed attached to
the shop and out of site, so looks don’t matter. I have to listen
sometimes to tell if it’s running... I’d mount to a couple of 6x6 or
at least 4x4 Add some hockey pucks for more isolation if you want... it
WILL make a huge difference</DIV>

mine on the pallet it was shipped on and that seem to work well.

would be needed.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>is it better to
mount them on wood for free standing or is it better to bolt it down?
FWIW, I'm putting it on an asphalt floor (inside.) But I can pour concrete
if a pad is better.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT size=2 face=sans-serif>It just seems to
me that having the wood helps absorbed vibrations.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT size=2
