Shurflo 182200 Accumulator Tank, 9.1" x 4.8" x 3.8", Black

Product Information

I think there is some confusion here, cut in and cut out pressures are controlled by pressure switch, they have nothing to do with accumulator settings. An accumulator is there purely to stop rapid cycling by delaying the drop, and rise, in pressure Shurflow accumulator tanks reduce cycling pulsation and pressure spikes, increase the life of your pump and even save battery power. NSF certified. Nylon Tank. Dimensions: 230 x 100mm. Maximum PSI: 125 SHURflo’s Accumulator Tank smoothes water faucet pulsations and reduces pump cycling to keep water line pressure up and pump motors cool. The SHURflo® accumulator tank reduces plumbing system noise, increases the life of your pump and saves battery power. The little problem, which is more annoying than a problem is the sound from the pump. When any tap is used we get "water hammering"...this goes on for maybe 5/6 secs when the tap is closed.

The A20 is designed for universal use and is therefore an ideal addition to our Shurflo Trail King water pumps, previous models and all other types of pressure switch pumps. The Fiamma A20 Universal Expansion Tank is small and compact, not much bigger than a 750ml bottle of water. Extend the life of your pump and cut water consumption with theFiamma A20 universal expansion tank Models with 1/2-14 ports: Insert the rubber washers in each port. Threaded fittings (plastic/nylon only) should be torqued approximately 1/2 to 1 turn after hand-tightened. Never exceed 6 ft/lbs [88 Nm] of torque on the ports. Plumb the system using high pressure (2x pump rating), braided, flexible tubing to minimize vibration/noise.The universal expansion tank also saves on water and electricity, increasing the pump performance and prolonging the life of the pump, all for an outlay of around half the price of the pump. The tank builds up a head of water which under pressure comes out in a steady stream due to the internal pressurized diaphragm providing a smooth, surge-free continuous flow. The A20 can be dismantled for diaphragm operations if necessary. Can be adapted to a multitude of pressure switch pumps We've had our Swift Challenger for a couple of months now. ..we've had a few weekend away getting to know her. Now we're off this Thursday for two weeks. ..first in Yorkshire, 2nd week in Scotland and I would like to find an answer to a little problem. SHURflo’s Pre-Pressurized Accumulator Tank smoothes water faucet pulsations and reduces pump cycling to keep water line pressure up and pump motors cool. The SHURflo® accumulator tank reduces plumbing system noise, increases the life of your pump and saves battery power. Coupler fitting is included.

Can be mounted in any position. However, for complete sanitizing/winterizing, the recommended mounting position is with pre-charge valve stem up. Do not freeze or mount near a high heat source.

It's possible that a semi-standardised water-system is used by Challenger and the connection with the hose that leads nowhere on your Genesis 34+ would, on a Challeger motorhome model with an alternative interior layout to yours, have a hose leading to a differently-located water outlet. Alternatively, it might be intended for an optional (cold-water?) outside shower-point. The pulsating water flow generated by pressure switched water pumps is replaced by a constant flow of water when you install a Fiamma A20 Universal Expansion Tank. Your water pump draws water from your water tank then pumps that water through the expansion tank. The internal pressurised diaphragm in the expansion tank eliminates any pulsating water flow and ensures a smooth, continuous flow instead, in the quantity required for showering or running a tap. Universal useThe expansion tank is installed on the delivery side of the diaphragm water-pump, as close to the pump as is practicable. Normally this will involve cutting through the water hose that leaves the water-pump and connecting the cut end of that hose on the water-pump side to the expansion tank's inlet and the other cut end of the hose to the expansion tank's outlet. Water under pressure enters the expansion tank and any surging is damped by a flexible membrane arrangement within the tank. The water flow leaving the expansion tank is thus 'smoothed', minimising the spluttering and spitting at water taps and shower-heads that's not uncommon with water systems that employ a diaphragm water-pump. Because of the way an expansion tank functions there must be two water connections - an inlet and an outlet - you can't just have an inlet. Yes, you can continue to return items as normal as long as you follow the government guidelines about leaving your house. The accumulator contributes to longer pump life, less noise, less amperage draw, and reduced water pulsation. The most efficient use of the accumulator occurs with the pre-charge set at the same pressure as the pump’s pressure switch “turn on” setting. The pre-charge must be set in a “static” condition (pump off and at least one water fixture opened). An ideal freshwater accessory to use with your pressure switch controlled pump for use on caravans and motorhomes. Use a standard tire air pump and pressure gauge. The pre-charge valve stem cap MUST be tight to prevent air leakage. I had a look at the pump t'other week and I noticed this "schrader type valve"....so does the system need a foot pump to take it to 20psi???
