Fait le travail

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!

Works very well with the shurflo pump on my rv. Before I installed it the pump would come on for a couple seconds every 30 seconds or so and hit hard on the last pump (copper plumbing is not elastic). Now that has stopped and the pump doesn't come on at all until a faucet is opened. The system holds pressure indefinitely and never did before. It was necessary to set the pressure right - a little below the shut off pressure of the pump. It came depressurized. If the pressure is set too high it's just like it wasn't there. A good improvement to my water system.As others have said, it does not come with hose barbs - rather shurflo's bridge connector between it and the pump. My pump had hose barbs on both ends, so I removed the output one and put it on the tank. Included in the package was the connector that goes between pump and tank. These have wings on them and get turned hand tight and seal very well.To make the system more compact and fit better into my space I ordered a right angle hose barb for the pump input. Shurflo has a number of adapters to choose from.
