Jabsco Accumulator Tanks

The Jabsco accumulator is an inline freshwater accumulator tank for small pressurised boat water systems that helps to smooth the water flow from your taps and help reduce wear on your water pump. These accumulator tanks can be used in light-pressurised water systems to smooth out water flow and make it more even, reduce wear on your water pump, and make the water system quieter.

The rubber membrane within the tank expands and contracts depending on the air pressure inside the accumulator tank. This regulates the amount of water that can be stored in the tank depending on your boat water pump's cut-in pressure.

It is a good idea to fit an accumulator tank to your boat's water system if you are using a pressure water pump. The tank can be fitted in any orientation just after the pump. These accumulator tanks are designed for small-sized water systems on small-sized boats. If in doubt it is better to fit a larger accumulator tank.

What is an Accumulator Tank

Accumulator tanks act as a buffer, smoothing the flow of water from the water pump to the tap. The tank keeps a reservoir of water which helps ease the strain on the pump. With an accumulator tank the pump doesn't need to start immediately and doesn't rapidly cycle on and off meaning you get a much smoother flow of water and reduce wear on the pump at the same time. This accumulator tank can be used on cold water systems.

• Smoother water flow from your tap (the water no longer pulsates)
• Reduce wear on your pump
• Reduce battery usage as the pump doesn't turn on as frequently
• Quieter water system operation

The Jabsco accumulator tanks have a mounting point for an optional pressure switch.

What are the main features of the Jabsco Accumulator Tanks?

• Pressure Regulation: The accumulator tank regulates water pressure by absorbing the pulsations and fluctuations that occur when water is pumped into the system. This helps maintain a steady flow of water without the need for the pump to turn on and off frequently.
• Smooth Water Flow: By maintaining a constant pressure in the water system, the accumulator tank ensures a smoother and more consistent flow of water to faucets, showers, and other water outlets.
• Reduction of Pump Cycling: The tank reduces the frequency of pump cycling, which not only saves energy but also prolongs the lifespan of the water pump by reducing wear and tear.
• Compact Design: SeaFlo accumulator tanks have a compact design, making them suitable for installation in confined spaces commonly found in boats, yachts, and RVs.
• Easy Installation: These tanks are relatively easy to install and typically require minimal maintenance once in place.
• Materials and Construction: SeaFlo accumulator tanks are made from durable materials such as food-grade plastics and corrosion-resistant metals to withstand the marine environment.
