Well I went ahead and put in an accumulator on top of already changing out the OEM faucet restrictors from 1.5 gpm to 2.2 gpm. I never had a puslating flow out of my shower head, so I looked up the specs and low and behold it is a 2.5 gpm restrictor....no problems there!
I mainly added the accumulator to see what effect it would have on giving me a stronger flush in my toilet which is the farthest distance away from the water pump.
WOW! Just like home! AND, you can almost NOT hear the water pump, seriously! Before I had to wait for the pump to ramp up to get a good flow to the bowl, not any more!
In the future, I will always do those three things to any RV in the future, no matter what.
1. Change out all the faucet restrictors to 2.2 gpm
2. Install the Shurflo pump silencing kit
3. Install an accumulator
I am one happy camper!
