Review on ๐Ÿ”‹ SHURflo 182-200 Pre-Pressurized Accumulator Tank - Black, Compact Size: 9.1" x 4.8" x 3.8 by Ricky Cruise

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The perfect addition to any camper!

I had some problems with the C class van. The "popping" and low demand combined with a pulsation at high demand and then we had hot water from the cold taps a few times. Ironically, I traced it back to the water heater. The water heater must have an air gap that acts as a buffer or accumulator. If you're jumping like crazy on bad roads, that air gap can dispel any symptoms. As I read about the causes and fixes, I found that adding such a battery can fix the problem. I already had a Shurflo water pump so I ordered this model. I didn't need any extra parts or hoses. I just added this to the output side and put 30psi in the accumulator. This is a find. Now the pump doesn't keep turning off and on when there's little demand. No more chatter, Ripple.nothing. I even flush the toilet a few times at night without running the water pump! I haven't used it long enough to find out if it provides enough buffer to fix my hot water problem due to a cold faucet issue. To be honest I think they should come with water pumps but nothing special for the price. this later. Highly recommended!

Pros
