Did you mean mount with screws into concrete ?

He has a "basement" and it's mounted to a concrete wall at the bottom of those stairs. Yes his entire rodi system is concrete anchored to his wall.

What’s the benefit of having it on a smart plug?
Turn it on and off.

Ohhh that was a dumb question. I thought it was always just on and it would turn “on” once it sensed pressure of water being made. Didn’t realize you had to turn it off/on when making water
Some have pressure switches that turn them off and on. The one I have, I have never gotten the pressure switch to do anything.

My auto shut off only works if I’m making water near my RODI. If I try running my tubing to my room it won’t turn off, I think because it travels a long distance so never builds up enough pressure

yeah, mounted to a cement wall will definitely dampers it. Try mounting it to a rocked interior wall...

If you have a garage near your kitchen and noise becomes an issue, maybe you can keep the booster pump in the garage and have a couple 1/4” RO lines run through the wall. Just as an alternative suggestion if you find it too loud. As mentioned before, it’s the vibration that makes it noisy. The booster pump itself is pretty silent.

Theres a tone of anti vibration pads out their made of rubber/cork or combination of both which if you mount between the pump and mounting surface will make a big difference..Can suspend/hang the pump a touch off the ground with bungee cord/ zip ties also will work..put it in a small box with vent holes on top of a foam pad ..Alota ways to make it quite
