I like what it does for the system, I had considered adding an expansion tank similar to what is on my RO filter system in my home. When looking I saw that SHURflo has a product that does what I was looking for. I will say I would have liked a larger tank for more quiet flow at night, which is why I started looking in the first place. The compromise of small for RV means it doesn't really deliver enough pump-off flow for toilet flushes, in my experience any way.

After the simple installation, there is No More water surging in the camper. Smooth operation and the pump runs with less cycling. However, the unit arrives with No pre-charged Pressure as stated in the instructions that came with it. You have to pre-charge it on the rear charging valve. I pumped mine up to 35-PSI and all works great !!

Worth every penny! Before I installed this I had PEX piping plumed directly to the water pump. That probably contributed to the loudness of the pump cycle and the vibrations and clattering in the plumbing system. Once I installed this accumulator I used a flexible pipe to connect the pump to the accumulator. I’m sure that helped with the noise and the clattering. However my pump cycle was also loud and cycled constantly to keep the pressure in the lines. Once this was installed the pump cycle is much less and the noise is barely noticeable!Installation was a breeze. It can be mounted in multiple different was according to the directions. One important fact is that it DOES NOT come “pre pressured”. It’s an easy fix though. Just use a tire pressure gauge and pressurize the accumulator just over your pump activation pressure.Highly recommend this!

Installed in my camper. Works well. Pump doesn’t cycle during the nighttime anymore. Water pressure is more consistent and pump is way quieter now also. (I’m guessing this is because of the flexible braided hoses I used to connect it to the water supply line).

This literally took LESS than 2 minutes to install. Hooks up right next to your pump (downstream) with the included connector tube. Follow instructions. It comes DEPRESSURIZED so you will need to pressurize it. Do so AFTER it’s connected, with the pump off and at least one faucet open. (This is called STATIC.) I just used a tiny all purpose compressor for like balls and tires. Set the pressure the same as your pump’s TURN ON pressure. My pump turns on at 30 psi and off at 55 psi, so I pressurized the accumulator to 30 psi. The pump just purrrrrrs continuously now and does not constantly turn on and off and surge! The pump also runs much more quietly now. Well worth the money and easy to install. I didn’t need any tools. Nothing but my little compressor.

This thing is great. First it has stopped all of my pump surges when I try to run a small amount of water or a small flow of water. The pump will still come on but not until you use the 7 ounces of store water under pressure held in the tank. The second thing that worked out for me was the way I installed it. By chance I had just enough room on the outlet side of my pump for installation. Using the double coupling that came with the tank installation was fast and easy, and leak free first try. Because the tank connection port height was lower than my pump outlet I used 2 pieces of rigid plastic tube to raise the height of the tank and screws long enough to extend through the mount of the tank, the length of the plastic tube and 1 inch into the wood below. I went in the RV to check and see how this thing was going to work. Not only did it work like an accumulator tank should, but because of the way I mounted it, it removed 90% of my water pump noise. I love it. Just as a side note I used the factory pressure and have had no problems from the low lying areas of the Atlantic Coast to the heights of the Rocky Mountains.

We bought this for our cottage based on the mostly positive reviews posted. Yes, it actually does work. In our case, the water system RV pump was constantly cycling on and off every few seconds whenever we ran the water. This eliminated that completed. It doesn't have much capacity, but it's enough to smooth out the flow. Also, we installed a braided SS hose on the outfeed side of the accumulator and overall the pump noise is reduced to about half of what it was. We recommend this.

I've had a small Shurflo AC pump in my shallow tile well for years. I simply hung the pump on paracord into the well and could never figure out how to attach one of those round 1-gallon accumulator tanks to the pump without putting some sort of wooden platform into the well, which would not be food grade...stainless steel seemed expensive, and how to put stainless legs on it in the well or suspend the platform ? ...I saw this little accumulator tank recently and was chopping vegetables on my poly cutting board and thought 'hey I could mount both of those on a cutting board like this and hang the both of them into the well together !'. It is small and light enough, can work horizontally or vertically, the same as the pump, and I wouldn't have to find any special couplings because it's all the same threads as the pump I already had working.I bought a Farberware 12 by 18 inch 1/4 inch thick poly cutting board on Amazon for 10 bucks, and attached the coupled pump and tank to board by marking mounting holes, drilling like a wood board, and 'sewing' the pump and tank on to the board with skinny paracord (which is incredibly strong, abrasion-resistant, doesn't hold moisture or mold, wouldn't potentially vibrate loose like stainless nuts and bolts, and was already on hand for hanging the whole deal into well.)It is small but has really made a difference in how my pump runs! It's quiet now (maybe too quiet -- I left water running and forgot about it) and there's no more bursts of water when I turn on the tap or cycling of the pump when I reduce the pressure of the pump to avoid bursts of water. Wish I had figured out how to mount it in my shallow well application years ago.One criticism: When I bought this a couple months ago it was advertised as being pre-pressurized to 30 lbs; but it came completely unpressurized, which the instructions said was due to shipping regulations. It was easy enough to pressurize at the gas station with the tire attachment, but it would have been nice to know I was going to have to do that before starting to hook it up.

I though about it for some time, wasn't sure about the usefullness of this thing but wow, turned out to be one of those great buy!!!Installation was easy but I however couldn't use the included "pump to tank adapter". I installed it away with some breaded nylon hose to further isolate the pulses of the pump! It allowed me to make my original noisy thing next to silent! Can't hear it now with regular conversation, have to actually listen to it to notice when it starts!!! It's also cool at night after a quick pee to be able to flush and wash you hands without the need for the pump to start!We love it!
