Water Accumulator tank

Looking for a fresh water accumulator tank that is larger than the Shurflo tanks that are easily found. I would prefer one that is about 3 times the capacity of the Shurflo. Anyone know where I could find one with about 3 quart to 1 gallon capacity?

I installed 2 of the Shurflo units in our previous rig and could install 3 in this one, but would prefer just one quality unit.

Thanks for any help-- Mick

I use standard accumulators intended for house use. Larger and cheaper than specialised RV toys.

Ideally the pressure in the accumulator bladder should be the same as the cut in pressure of the pump, so given that house systems may operate at a higher pressure than RV systems, it could be precharged too high.

IF it can be used for house it can be used in an RV.
Is it time for your medication or mine?

A quick google search brought up over 4 million hits. One of them was a 2 gallon unit for marine use, but, sorry, I lost it. Another was a marine .5 gallon.
you might try a search for marine or boat accumulators.
Good luck.
