PRT, you're saying that the factory Shur-Flo pump seems to work good with the accumulator?? Good to know. I have been wondering how noisy, or quiet, it would be with an can.

It seams to work pretty good, but only tested at home so far. Right now I have about 15 lbs pressure in the tank before you fill system with water and have about 15 seconds off water at the kitchen tap at full blast. Going to try going to about 18 to 20 lbs and see if I can get about 20 to 30 seconds of water before pump kicks in. I believe the pump is quieter and there is no more surging and sputtering when tap is opened a small amount.

I put a 2 gal Home Depot accumulator in our old trailer. Worked well.
But don't really want to waste the kitchen cupboard space in the timber Ridge.
So we'll prolly just live with it.

By the way, just discovered the other day that the FW tank and pump work well as a supplemental water source when the park's water pressure is so low that you can't take a decent shower. The two sources work well together.
