all good. Note that they changed the clips from the old models, use the new ones or it will leak.

I was really gratified at the huge improvement this little one liter accumulator made for my marine potable water system, no more cutting in an out or stuttering when I wash my hands or a dish. Increasing the pre charge was easy with a bicycle pump and gage.Manual says to set 3 psi below cut in pressure, a label on the box says 2; I used 3 but I doubt that matters much. I was worried about the o ring seal and retaining clips, but it hasn't leaked a drop all summer.

Smoothed out the water pump on my boat system, but I do not expect it to last. This stores pressure in an internal bladder filled with air, so the minor uses do not cycle the water pump. The bladder is slightly pressurized with a standard bicycle pump. The last rubber bladder failed, so I expect this one to as well in a couple years. Unfortunately, even though I could easily replace the rubber bladder, it is not sold, so it is a $100 replacement. The other problem is there is no guidance for what to pressurize it to.

Le compresseur fait très bien son travail; mais ce n'est que par hasard, après plusieurs semaines, que je suis arrivé à le faire travailler comme je le souhaitais : le taux de compression maximal de l'air est bien indiqué, mais pas celui de fonctionnement conseillé; et ils sont très différents. :-(

It is relatively small and very easy to install. Functions as advertised at lest so far into a months use.

It works great in my motorhome. I am amazed at how much storage we now have. I can get up in the night, flush the toilet, wash my hands and the pump doesn't need to be on.

I got this last week and was able to install it easily. Got everything completed and turned on the pump, only to find a very slow drip coming from where the fittings connect to the tank via an o-ring fitting.After taking everything apart, I found that the o-rings supplied with the fittings were sub-standard. They had striations in them from a poorly-made mold, and they were really too small for the task at hand. Both of these design flaws contributed to a slow but constant leak. I only run at 45 psi and they leaked. There is no way they would hold at the product's maximum pressure.Solution was simple and cheap. For only $1.50 I was able to get two new o-rings from the local hardware store that were slightly beefier than the originals, and that were manufactured without striations. I used a tiny amount of silicon plumbing lubricant to reassemble. The new o-rings were much more snug than the originals and I could immediately feel the difference.Pressurized the pump, cleared the air in the system, and now the tank is holding pressure with no dripping.It's a shame that an otherwise good product was brought down by such substandard parts.

Wow! What a difference. Installed in place of existing 2.5 gallon pressure tank. Excellent decision. My pump runs less. I have two heads one galley and a transom shower. I don’t think it would keep up with all open but two of them it could. Great space saver too!Ok, it's a year and a half later and the internal bladder has ruptured and it doesn't hold pressure. I've had to continue to recharge the precharge every 6 months (to the prescribed 10psi). Now, I need a replacement. Your call from here.

This is a great bit of kit, evening out water flow, essentila for an instantaneous water heater. However, I feel that it is seriously over priced being just a bit of plastic and rubber. It can't cost a lot to make. Also, spare bladders/diaphragms are not available, if there is a split in the diaphragm you have to buy a whole new unit. My first one lasted at least 10 years and I will buy anotherwhen this one fails.

It keeps my water running at a constant pressure with out sputtering and such. Also it's nice when you turn on the faucet the water dose not come on for at least 30 to 40 seconds, which saves wear and tear on the pump.

I purchased this to replace the same model that was already installed on my boat. Installation was simple as I already had the fittings from the existing unit. The fittings push into each side and are then locked in place with some sliding wedges. The whole changeout process took less than 5 minutes. In the case of a new installation, you need to find a location where you can mount the housing, and cut into existing lines. This particular unit shipped with one straight and one 90 degree hose barb fitting, while the old unit had straight hose barb fittings on both ends. Since my hoses were already lined up, I reused the existing fittings. Unit works well, greatly reducing the pump cycling.
